5B’s Catering Service will serve two pork chops, two quarter chickens or a combination. Coleslaw, baked beans, applesauce and a dinner roll are included. Tickets are $13 in advance or $15 at the door.

Tickets are on sale at Oswego Presbyterian and at Habitat’s office at Genesis Community Church, 1300 S. Broadway in Montgomery. For information, call the church at 630-554-8194 or Habitat at 630-859-3333.
