Corned Beef Sale

Don’t miss our 22nd Corned Beef on Rye – Sure to Satisfy Fundraiser on Thursday, November 7, 2024!

Get ready to savor delicious delicatessen when our Corned Beef on Rye – Sure to Satisfy Fundraiser returns! We’re looking forward to topping last year’s sales of more than 1,800 delicious meals!

What’s new this year? The biggest change is that we will not have drive-thru pick up of orders. Simply park in our spacious lot and walk up to the building, where multiple pick-up stations will be set up for your convenience.

In addition, customers who pre-order meals will be able to take advantage of special early bird pick up beginning at 10 a.m., an hour before our regular 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. hours. New sponsorship opportunities also are available.


Boxed meals are $18 each when ordered by Friday, October 25. After that date and at the door, meals are $21 each. Meals include a heaping 1/3-pound corned beef sandwich on rye, giant pickle, creamy coleslaw, fudgy brownie, and a drink.

Additional pounds of bulk corned beef are for sale for $20 per pound. Delivery service is available when you order 12 meals or more by Friday, October 25 for $15 per address.
