Shirts cost $18 for youth, $20 to $23 for adult short sleeves, and $25 to $27 for adult long sleeves. Shirts can be ordered online.

According to BV Strong, the cost of table and chair rental and insurance has increased by sixty percent over the last two years. The dinner is free to attend, but donations are encouraged. There is a suggested donation of $5 per person or $40 per table for those participating in the event.

Tables can seat up to eight guests. It is the Table Hosts’ responsibility to welcome guests and provide place settings and food.

BV Strong is also looking for thirty volunteers at 1:00 p.m. on Monday, September 18 to assist with set up for the community dinner. At 7:00 p.m. after the dinner concludes, they are looking for volunteers to stack chairs and tables and help with general clean up.

Community members interested in volunteering can sign up online at BVstrong.com. More information about the dinner, volunteering, and donating is available on BV Strong’s website.
