Habitat for Humanity of Rowan County will hold its barbecue-chicken fundraiser Tuesday at the Salisbury Civic Center.
More than 7,700 meals will be available for sale. Dinners will be served from 11 a.m. until 7 p.m.
Seating is available for persons who wish to eat at the Civic Center. Drive-through take-out service is also available. The cost of a meal is $8 and includes half a chicken, slaw, potato salad, dessert and a roll. Proceeds from the fundraiser will be used to build Habitat houses in Rowan County for families in need.
Habitat needs 700 cakes to be donated and also needs 200 volunteers to work the food line, serve tables, slice cakes and deliver large orders to factories and worksites.
Persons wishing to volunteer are asked to contact the Habitat Volunteer Coordinator by phone at 704-642-6292 or come to the Civic Center on the day of the event.
Donated cakes will be received at the Civic Center the day before and the day of the event.
All people are welcome to participate.
