There will be two plate dinner events during September that will raise money for local charities and community outreach.
The first is a fish fry at Wake Forest United Methodist Church from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 13. Each $8 plate will include filet of flounder, potatoes, hush puppies and slaw, and diners can drive through or sit down to eat in. The church is at 905 South Main Street. The profits will support missions such as Tri-Area Ministry, Rise Against Hunger, the church’s ramp-building project, Kairos and the Oak Hill building mission.
