Trinity Lutheran Church, 2703 Fort, will have a benefit barbecue for the Fort Hays State University and Hays High food pantries from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 19.

The meal will feature a choice of first-rate smoked meats, baked beans, cole slaw, potato salad, and a variety of delectable desserts. A freewill offering will be collected, with all proceeds benefiting the food pantries. 

The funds raised will help the FHSU food pantry continue its Fresh Food Friday program, to bring fresh food to the campus community. Funds also will help the HHS pantry maintain a stock of food, hygiene items and school supplies, which are dispersed to students in need.
