“Helping the operation of the department for equipment. Tools and stuff that we need. That just helps contribute to that. We’re here to serve our community. But we really appreciate them coming back and purchasing our dinners and being able to support us so we can support them,” said Hanning.

Dinners cost $9 and will be served from 11 A.M. until all the chickens are sold out.
