Thursday, July 19th, 2012

Volunteer blood donors on Monday received delicious support in appreciation for their time and efforts – eastern NC bar-b-q and other SCNB menu favorites

Smithfield’s Chicken ‘N Bar-B-Q® (SCNB) is pleased to announce their recent participation as a meal sponsor for Rex Blood Center in Raleigh, NC. On Monday, July 16, Smithfield’s Chicken ‘N Bar-B-Q® provided lunches for blood drive donors at Rex Blood Center.

Rex Blood Services is a not-for-profit, community blood bank dedicated to providing a safe, adequate blood supply to patients at Rex Hospital and other area hospitals. In 1962, Rex Blood Services began as Raleigh’s first community blood donor facility. Their mission is to provide the highest standard of care and service to area blood donors and patients, while promoting the importance of community participation and awareness of the need for, and importance of, blood donation.

“When Sandra Brooks of Rex Blood Services came to us and told us that ‘every day in the US, over 32,000 blood transfusions take place’ and that many of them occur in our Triangle-area hospitals, often benefiting patients fighting long-term illnesses such as cancer and sickle cell anemia, we knew we wanted to help support them in whatever way that we, as a restaurant brand, could”, says Richard Averitte, Marketing Director for Smithfield’s Chicken ‘N Bar-B-Q®. “Treating those life-sustaining volunteers who donate blood to lunch, essentially, is something we took great pride in being able to do”, Averitte added.

Bar-B-Q for a Local Couple’s Big Day

Tuesday, June 21st, 2011

Every now and then we have the wonderful opportunity to hear from a customer who reminds us just how far delicious food and friendly service can go in making one’s day… and sometimes it’s even their BIG DAY!

Check out the email below for a look at how our Siler City location helped save the day recently:

I know that often you hear nothing but complaints, however, I have a praise for Vickie and her staff for an outstanding job and for saving the day. The story is: May 21st was my wedding day and the wedding was outside at our farm for 80 people. What should have been a stress-free event, turned into a nightmare. Our caterer did not show.

My sister-in-law called Smithfield’s in Siler City and placed an order for 80 people with no explanation of why that much food in such a short notice (30 to 45 mins). When they got there, Vickie and her team was working on the order. Vickie asked “what is the event”. My sister-in-law explained and Vickie hurried the team up and packed the back of the SUV in a manner that nothing spilled. The food was there and setup within 10 mins. of the wedding ending. Without Vickie and her team, my wedding would have been a disaster. My words can not express the gratitude that I have for Smithfield’s, Vickie and her team.

Just wanted you know the GREAT job that the Siler City – Smithfield’s is doing.

A heartfelt “Thank you!” and “Congratulations!” go out to the new Mrs. Culberson and her new husband. On behalf of Vickie, everyone at our Siler City location, and the entire Smithfield’s Chicken ‘N Bar-B-Q family, we wish you both a very happy start to your new life together – we were honored to be part of your big day and look forward to serving you and yours again soon!

Planning an engagement party, rehearsal dinner, wedding reception, or any other event for friends and family? We would love assist you so that you can enjoy a stress-free celebration! From four guests to four hundred, we can handle any size catering or special event need you have planned. Please feel free to contact your neighborhood location or email us anytime at Comments@SCNBNC.com and we’ll be happy to help ensure the food and beverage for your guests goes off without a hitch!
