Nicaragua BBQ Fundraiser June 4th!

We are loving our annual tradition of holding a Nicaragua-style food barbecue fundraiser with carne asada, pollo asado, beans, rice, and plantain chips!

Please join us Sunday, June 4 as we raise funds for the new school that is opening this week in Esteli Nicaragua. We are hoping to raise $500/month to continue to be able to impact these future leaders.

If you are interested in helping serve in the fundraiser (cooking, serving, setup, clean up, etc.) please email donevonloewen@hillsidecommunity.org
