Gilmour's on 38 annual charity BBQ

Jeff Green | Jun 29, 2016

Gilmour's on 38 in Harrowsmith is working with Friendly Fires out of Kingston to present a BBQ to benefit Clothes for Kids, which provides snowsuits for children who need them in the Kingston, Frontenac, Lennox and Addington and Gananoque regions.

The BBQ will take place on Friday, July 8, from 2 to 6 pm at Gilmour's Meat in Harrowsmith. For a $5 donation, staff from Friendly Fires will prepare a hamburger, a sausage, or hot dog on a bun to go with a drink. All of the money will be donated to Clothes For Kids, as Gilmour's is providing all the food and drinks and Friendly Fires is providing the BBQ and all the labour.

“This is something we did last year and it we are happy to start the summer BBQ season of 2016 off with an event like this to help children in Frontenac County and Kingston,” said Nick Gilmour of Gilmour's on 38.

Clothes For Kids is a Kingston-based charity that works with partners, including Northern Frontenac Community Services, to provide snowsuits and other winter gear for children who are in need throughout the region.
