· This ministry supports the two fund raisers for the parish; the Fall & Spring Fried Chicken Dinner in April and September. There is carry out or eat in the dining room. There is also a bake table, children’s games, white elephant, craft shop, religious shop, bingo, a raffle and a refreshment stand. We also have outside vendors for a Craft and Flea Market Show.
· These chicken dinners are far more than fund raisers. They are true community events where friendships are renewed and new friends made.
· Further, these dinners generate a true sense of community and camaraderie among our many volunteers.
Volunteers are needed in all aspects of the dinner and we have sign up outside of church in the weeks before each dinner. Also you can contact Barbara to have your name on the list. Volunteers are needed not just for the day of the dinner, but also in planning, preparation, setup, and cleanup.
We serve around 1500 to 2000 dinners including the carry out and the dining room. Many of our visitors come back for each dinner and they come from far and wide.
