The Trinity Lutheran Church, 2703 Fort St., will have a benefit barbecue for First Call for Help and the Good Samaritan Society of Hays from 11:30 to 1:30 p.m. Sunday, July 15.

The meal will feature a choice of first-rate smoked meats, baked beans, coleslaw, potato salad and desserts.

A free-will donation will be collected. All proceeds benefit First Call for Help and the Good Samaritan Society. The funds raised will help First Call provide education and prevention services, assist those in immediate need and serve Meals on Wheels.

The funds will also help build the Generation Courtyard at the Good Samaritan Home of Hays.

This is a therapeutic, secured, outside area where residents can enjoy the outdoors. There are plans to include a playground area so residents can watch kids play when they come to visit.
