Community Center Sets Barbecue Fundraiser

The second annual drive-through pork barbecue meal benefiting the ministries of the Alpha & Omega Community Center (AOCC) is scheduled for Saturday, May 28, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Lancaster Church of the Brethren. The church is located at 1601 Sunset Ave., Lancaster.

Catered by Peters' Barbecue, the meal will include a pulled pork sandwich with barbecue sauce on a homemade roll, a baked potato, and applesauce. Drinks are not included. There is a cost per meal, and additional donations are welcome. Last year's inaugural pork dinner raised nearly $2,500 for the AOCC.

Preorders are strongly encouraged, but a limited number of meals will be available for purchase on the day of the event. To preorder, contact AOCC board member Carolyn Fitzkee no later than Wednesday, May 18, at dcfitzkee@gmail.com or 717-682-1762.

Affiliated with the Alpha & Omega Church of the Brethren, the AOCC seeks to share God's love by providing education and social services to empower the Latino community of Lancaster. Led by executive director Joel Peña, the center offers a food bank, computers for refugees, Spanish language counseling, and English instruction. The center is located at 708 Wabank St., Lancaster.
