The Atlanta Kosher Barbecue Festival Has the Beef (and Chicken)
We NEED Lots and Lots of Volunteers

Everything is coming together for the the Atlanta Kosher Barbecue Festival, Sunday Oct. 23, at Brook Run Park in Dunwoody. We have the teams, we have the grills, and we have the beef and chicken for our teams to smoke.

Now we need volunteers to keep it all together. Some of the big jobs include:

• Helping with the pantry on the night of Oct. 19 as teams prep their brisket, ribs, and chicken and during the night of Oct. 21 and the day of the event as the teams prep and cook
• Helping with setup of grills at Brook Run on Oct. 20
• Helping with selling tasting tickets at the event
• Helping with team support during the event

There are many more opportunities to serve. Click on Volunteers along the top of our AKBF website home page. We appreciate everything you can sign up to do.
