Union Gospel Mission will be celebrating its 11th annual Labor Day Barbeque Fundraiser by offering FREE barbeque plates with the hopes of donations in return. To encourage giving, an anonymous donor has come forward with a $5,000 gift. Every dollar raised on Labor Day, will be matched up to $5,000.
The Union Gospel Mission will be set up in front of Maple Street Biscuit Company at 2020 Gunbarrel Road, on Monday, Sept. 1, from 11 a.m.–2 p.m., where the community can drive up to receive their barbeque plates.
“All money raised from the barbeque will go directly to service,” said Rev. Jon Rector, executive director of The Union Gospel Mission. “Without the generosity of our community, we could not provide a safe shelter and create lasting change in men’s lives! Come see us on Labor Day!”
