OXBOW - A community of families and friends came together on June 3 in St. Joseph Catholic Church’s parking lot to host a fundraiser for new carpet in the church.
A wide variety of Filipino dishes were offered and supporters had their choice of four combo options. Meals consisted of rice noodles, spring rolls, rice cakes, pork skewers, chicken adobo, or pork sisig.
They sold 150 pre-sale tickets, but had many walk-ups on the day. From the food sales alone they raised $4,590, but the 50/50 sales also brought in $170. The lucky winner of the 50/50 was Alona Vistal.
“On behalf of the Oxbow Filipino community, I would like to thank everyone who helped and supported us in our fundraiser.” Jehmaleen Podang said. “I’m also happy to share that we have already ordered the carpet for the whole church and once we got it we will schedule for the carpet replacement.”
