Rebuilding Hope is making plans for its barbecued chicken fundraiser later this month, and Randolph Wilson invites the community to come on out on Friday, Sept. 29 to buy the plates to support the group’s efforts.
Tickets are $10, and Wilson said last year’s drive-thru process worked so well that they’ll probably do it the same way this year.
“Last year, we did it in a hurricane,” Wilson said on Wednesday’s TownTalk, so this year should be a piece of cake.
Thanks to the support, dedication and hard work of volunteers, the chicken plate fundraiser is a big success. Wilson, who is founder and director of the non-profit, said they’re getting all the details worked out to make sure things run smoothly on chicken plate day.
Plate pick-up continues from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. If you order five or more plates, delivery is available.
Rebuilding Hope send volunteer crews out to Vance and surrounding counties to help people with home repair projects and construction projects.
This summer’s Servants on Site program built ramps and put five roofs on homes in the area. And there were 32 participants in the Kids Construction Camp, which provides hands-on training for young people who want to learn more about using hand tools.
It’s a volunteer-driven organization, and Wilson said the volunteers that give their time and talent to Rebuilding Hope have created something special.
“I can’t ask for better volunteers – they do a fabulous job,” he said. “You’d be surprised at the skills that come here every week.”
The organization has been at its current location, 414 Raleigh Rd., for about seven years. Locally known as the former Coca-Cola Bottling Co., the familiar sign on the front of the 1930’s-era brick building offers visitors a reminder of the building’s past.
Rebuilding Hope is open Monday-Friday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Visit www.rebuildinghopeinc.com to learn more or call 252.438.5132.
