Burien’s historic Barrel Tavern will be hosting its annual ‘Chicken Friday Christmas’– a fundraiser for the White Center Food Bank and other local causes – from 6 p.m. – 10 p.m. this Friday night, Dec. 14.

Cost is $10 per plate for a chicken buffet dinner (21 and over only), and last year they raised $4,000.

If you can’t come but would still like to contribute, organizers are asking folks to please make a check or money order payable to: “White Center Food Bank.”

This fundraiser also supports the ADG Motorcycle Club’s toy drive for Child Haven. There will be a pick up box at the Barrel (and other places) until Dec. 15.

“So if you have a new toy you would like to give a child, bring it with you on the 14th – you can make a child happy and Feed Some People,” reads an announcement.

There are also “Jars on the Bars” at these fine local establishments accepting donations:

• Elmers (SW 150th & Ambaum)
• Wunderland Smoke Shop (SW 149th & Ambaum)
• Good Time Ernie’s (SW 157th & Ambaum)
• The Triangle Tavern (94th & Delridge SW)
• The Locker Room (96th & 16th Ave SW)
• and of course the Barrel (SW 112th & 1st Ave S)

This event is sponsored by Top Hat Taxes and hosted by Rat City ABATE.

The Barrel Tavern is located at 11051 1st Ave South; (206) 246-5488.
