United Way of Greater Oswego County volunteers are hard at work getting ready for their first fundraiser of the year, a Chicken Barbecue set for Thursday, March 25 at Woodchuck Saloon in Oswego from noon to 3 (or until sold out). 

“The COVID-19 pandemic forced United Way to cancel many of our annual fundraisers over the last year,” said Kate Davis Pitsley, resource development director at United Way of Greater Oswego County. “In order to recover some of the funding we use to support local partner agencies, we have put together another one of our most successful and delicious events, the Chicken Barbecue at Woodchuck Saloon.”

The $10 dinners include a half-chicken, Woodchuck-style beans, salt potatoes & a roll. Pre-orders are being accepted and volunteers will be providing delivery (for locations that order 5 dinners or more) in surrounding areas. Volunteers are also happy to walk orders out to vehicles once ordered. All pre-orders must be reserved by Friday, March 19 at 5:00 p.m.
