Brisket sale will benefit area homeless

The Rotary Club of Cypress-Fairbanks is hosting a Mother's Day Brisket Sale on Saturday, May 7, to benefit Cypress Assistance Ministries’ homeless initiative.

For a $50 donation, participants will receive a fully cooked brisket, approximately 7 pounds, prepared, seasoned and smoked by the cooks at Carl’s BBQ, including a pint of its delicious barbecue sauce.

Briskets may be picked up at Carl’s BBQ from 10 a.m. until noon on May 7. For those unable to pick their brisket up at that time, the Rotary Club of Cypress-Fairbanks will arrange to deliver it and/or freeze it until a more convenient time.

“We are proud to partner with Carl’s BBQ to support such a worthy community initiative,” said Rotary Project Director Ray Young. “The community can order briskets for themselves or designate a local charitable organization such as Boys & Girls Country, Cypress Assistance Ministries, or the Northwest Houston Salvation Army as a recipient.”

Cypress Assistance Ministries’ homeless initiative is designed to help deserving families, especially single-parent families, from becoming homeless by providing financial assistance for utilities and rent.

Order forms are available by contacting Ray Young at dry@waterengineers.com or 713-582-7564.

Carl’s BBQ is located at 21920 Highway 290 in West Cypress.
