QC FINDS LOW ATTENDANCE A PLUS TO HELP HARVEY VICTIMS
The annual banquet Saturday night was a success! Attendance was almost half of the usual number, but that ended up benefiting around 200 victims of Hurricane Harvey! With the help of Ben E Keith Food's donation of Hoagie Rolls, canned sodas, and chips, and Brewster St. Icehouse helping to warm up the sausage and wild pulled pork left over from the banquet, many hurricane victims received some good food. Brewster St. Icehouse also lended Cambro food warmers and food packaging. Dave Walsh from Ben E. Keith, who spearheaded the idea, was in charge of the food along with Glen Ratchford, chef at San Tomas Hunting Camp at the banquet. Some of Dave's Ben E. Keith co-workers were able to make pulled pork and sliced sausage sandwiches. With some of the leftover cheese cubes, broccoli florets, Ranch Dressing, and cracker packs they made individual snack packs to go with the sandwiches. The group then started out in Port Aransas and went from business to business distributing hot sandwiches, snack packs, and cold drinks to workers in all stages of pulling out soaked, mildewed furniture, equipment and walls…from their businesses. They were able to make a run into Rockport as well. Dave said "The offerings were well received and everyone we approached took time to thank us for our offering. But we benefited more by feeling like we were helping in some small way."
