FORT COLLINS, CO, January 20, 2010
/24-7PressRelease/ -- Albert Pit Barbecue is offering Carry Out BBQ on Friday, January 22nd from 4:00 to 7:00 and giving 100% of the profits to the United Nation's World Food Program (WFP). The event occurs at the Albert Pit Barbecue Catering Kitchen at 3201 East Mulberry.
There are two important links between Haiti and barbecue. The first barbecues, in fact, were the invention of the Taino Indians of Haiti, who dried their meat on raised frames of sticks over the fire. Spanish explorers translated the Taino word as barbacoa, and in due course English settlers along the Atlantic coast had their own barbecues. "Haitians really invented barbecue!" says Albert Pit Barbecue owner, Korey Albert.
A second Haitian/barbecue link is that the WFP is distributing ready-to-eat foods and high-energy biscuits in Haiti. Biscuits! Biscuits taste great with barbecue (the high-energy kind given to the Haitians by the World Food Program or the slathered in butter kind of barbecue country). So by coming in and buying barbecue on Friday, January 22nd Fort Collins residents will be sending high-energy biscuits and other emergency food to the Haitian people.
Within 24 hours of the earthquake, the WFP began providing ready-to-eat foods and high-energy biscuits to quake victims and is gearing up to feed 2 million people for the next six months. For four years, Albert Pit Barbecue has been supporting the WFPs Millennium Development Goal of halving world hunger by 2015. Owner Korey Albert says, "We've carefully researched our charitable choices and believe that this organization is worthy of our donation and yours."
For carryout, drop by our catering kitchen between 4:00 and 7:00 on Friday, January 22nd. The Albert Pit Barbecue Catering Kitchen is located at 3201 East Mulberry, Unit F, Fort Collins at the corner of East Mulberry and Dawn (It is easy to find.
