Volunteers and supporters of Rebuilding Hope, Inc. are gearing up for the annual fall chicken plate fundraiser, which will be held Friday, Sept. 27 from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. at the 414 Raleigh Road location.
Co-director Tom Wille said the plates include half a chicken, potatoes, green beans and dessert, all for $10 each.
Call 252.438.5132 to pre-order or to get a minimum of six plates delivered to you.
“We’ll get those to you at lunch time, or break time,” Wille said. For pre-orders, “we’ll save them and you can pick them up,” he added.
But don’t wait until the last minute – they’ll be selling until 7 p.m. or until they run out.
This chicken plate fundraiser does more than just feed hungry people, Wille pointed out.
“We’re supporting the local community by doing this,” he said.
By building ramps for people with mobility issues, Wille said, they’re also helping first responders by reducing calls for help getting people in and out of their homes.
“It changes everybody’s life for the better,” he said.
“Everything we do is in the name of Christ. Because Jesus loved us first, we can go out and love those in our community.”
