The Oregon Barbecue Company was extremely honored when they'd received a phone call from the Executive Director of Furniture Share, an organization that directly aids in bettering the situation of many families in our local communities, asking if OBC would like to assist in this years 8th Annual Texas Style BBQ Hoedown. "Naturally, we were very excited to be able to help Michelle and her organization with this years event," said Tanner Poff, the President of Oregon BBQ. "This gives us an opportunity to do the two things we love most... BBQ and helping out the families of our community!"
The event is being held on July 22nd at the Philomath Frolic and Rodeo Grounds from 5:00pm - 8:00pm and is going to be an evening packed with all sorts of entertainment. The Oregon BBQ will be doing an all day cookout with multiple whole hogs as well as providing chicken, hot dogs, barbecue beans, and coleslaw. The entertainment for the night will include: Live Music, Team Penning, live and silent auction, and much more in an effort to help raise money for the incredibly generous Furniture Share Organization. Some of the items within the auction include: Disney Package for 4, Trips to the Coast, Dinners, Movie Tickets, Bowling Passes, Admission to the Oregon Jamboree, Country Music Festival Passes, and Gift Baskets just to name a few.
Last year the organization was able to provide goods and household items to over 5000 individuals including more than 2300 children living within our community. "There are so many families; more than we probably even realize, that may not even have some of the basics that often get taken for granted. Something as substantial as a bed for example. Its unthinkable to imagine that there are parents and kids in our communities that don't even have beds to come home to after a long day of work or school. We should come together as their neighbors and rally behind these families to do what we can to improve their situations," commented the VP of Oregon Barbecue, Nathan Pendley.
If you are looking to help out some of the families within your community there are many ways of doing so. The Furniture Share is always excepting donations of items such as: Household Furniture, Beds, Sheets, Pillows, Blankets, Chairs, Dinner Tables, Dressers, Couches, Pots, Pans, Silverware. Even if you dont have any money or items to donate the Furniture Share Organization is always looking for volunteers to assist with events and other day to day activities.
To get involved in your community or donate some of your unused household goods or furniture please think about letting Furniture Share be a part of that process. For more information please visit: Furnitureshare.org
