BBQ Info

The United Methodist Men will hold a spring BBQ, along with the Highland Bake Sale, on Friday April 19. Forks Catering will again be preparing our BBQ, potatoes, slaw, and hushpuppies. We’ll have water and iced tea to drink (eat-in only). Lunch will be served (eat-in or take out) from 11 AM-2 PM, and dinner will be served from 5-7 PM (or until we run out). Plates will still be $10/each. We are excited to announce 2 changes for this BBQ:

• In an effort to be more earth-friendly, we will be using compostable plates/containers that are made from recycled materials.
• We will be taking bulk BBQ pre-orders. To pre-order, email Scott Loftin (s@theloftins.net) between April 5-12. Pre-ordered bulk BBQ will be available for pickup all day on April 19.

Please mark your calendars now and start bugging your neighbors, co-workers, family, friends, and people-you-meet-on-the-street to come enjoy our BBQ and bake sale on Friday April 19.

Proceeds of the Fundraiser Benefit the Inter-Faith Food Shuttle’s BackPack Buddies Program

BackPack Buddies is designed to provide children experiencing food insecurity with nutritious, kid-friendly, pre-packed meals for the weekend—when they would not have access to a school’s free lunch and breakfast. The Food Shuttle works with school guidance counselors and social workers across a seven-county service area to help identify students with the greatest risk of food insecurity to be recipients of BackPack Buddies.
