Mobile barbecue
Alberta Pork has a mobile outdoor barbecue and kitchen that can be booked free-of-charge to travel to Alberta communities to raise money for charities or community projects.
Since its inception in 2002, the mobile barbecue has been involved in more than 50 events in Alberta, with 100 percent of the proceeds going to local charities.
The barbecue is a fully contained commercial-scale kitchen on wheels, designed to feed groups of 50 to 500 people. Alberta Pork supplies staff to operate the cruiser and donates the pork that is served.
All proceeds from pork food sales at the event are then donated to a charitable cause designated by the event organizers.
The barbecue, also known as the special events cruiser, is offered as part of Alberta Pork’s community ambassador program.
Community organizations can apply to have the Alberta Pork special events cruiser attend events between May and September.
To apply, contact Alberta Pork at 403-256-2764, ext. 221, or fill out an application form on Alberta Pork’s website at www.albertapork.ca.
