ALLEN COUNTY, OH (WLIO) - It has become a tradition in Allen County and has supported those with disabilities for years.
Next week is the annual chicken barbeque for the Allen County Board of Developmental Disabilities. Each year the money raised has a specific project it goes towards. This year's dinner is supporting the All Abilities Playgrounds and their upkeep. The group sells thousands of meals each year and hopes to meet their goal of 3,500 dinners. The fundraiser wouldn't be possible without the support of the community in many ways.
"We have so many people from the community that not just buy our dinners but come and help. They help deliver, they help make the dinners, they promote it, we just couldn't do it without the support of the whole county," explained Anne Dunbar, intake coordinator for Allen County Board of Developmental Disabilities.
Business deliveries are available with a five-dinner minimum from 10 a.m. To 1 p.m. The drive-through will be open in front of Marimor School, located at 2550 Ada Rd, Lima, OH 45801, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. The meal is only $10. Call 419-221-1385 for tickets and business deliveries.
