LIMA, Ohio (WLIO) – It was another productive year for the Allen County Board of Developmental Disabilities as thousands turned out in support of their annual bar-b-que chicken dinner.
The “sold out” sign was posted before serving even began Thursday. Organizers said they sold 2,400 dinners, with more than half of them delivered to local businesses and industries as part of the fundraiser.
“It’s quite the undertaking and a whole day event, but it’s a really fun thing to get to kind of talk and hang out with everybody and see our customers and just have a beautiful day like today,” said Anne Dunbar, intake support services coordinator. “We usually have about 80 to 90 volunteers. We have about 40 people who are delivering dinners over lunchtime to area businesses, and then that’s not including all the people that are putting all the dinners together.”
The fundraiser supports ongoing projects for the Board of Developmental Disabilities.
The fundraiser supports ongoing projects for the Board of Developmental Disabilities. This year’s proceeds are going toward the restroom project at the All Ability Playground next to Marimor Schools. The project, already underway, will add a fully accessible restroom to the playground.
