A few weeks ago, a call came in from Second Harvest Food Bank of Orange County with an unexpected need. As the organization prepared for its annual all-staff appreciation lunch, a routine equipment check revealed that its barbecue grill had reached the end of its life and was no longer safe to use.
Orange Elks member, Joseph Medina learned about the situation and reached out to several of the lodge’s kitchen groups for support. The Tuesday Meal Deals and the 3Tue Kitchen Crew immediately stepped up to help. Together, they were able to locate a quality barbecue at a reasonable price and purchase it in time for the event.
To add personal touch, Joe partnered with Slap Lab OC, a local print shop, to create a custom decal featuring the Second Harvest logo. Once the decal was applied, the new grill was ready for delivery.
Chris Michaelis and Joseph delivered the barbecue two days before the staff lunch, ensuring everything was in place for a successful event.
A special thank you goes to Slap Lab OC for generously assisting with the custom decal. You can find them on Instagram and Yelp.
