Trinity Lutheran Church will have a benefit barbecue to help raise funds for the Western Plains Animal Refuge.

The event will be from 11:30 to 1:30 p.m. May 31 at the church, 2703 Fort.

The meal will feature a choice of first-rate smoked meats, baked beans, coleslaw, potato salad and a variety of desserts. A freewill offering will be collected, with proceeds benefiting the animal refuge. There will be some furry friends on-hand also, if you are looking to adopt. Crossroads also will perform during the event.

The funds raised will help Western Plains Animal Refuge build a new building and shelter area.
