June Guest Chef Dinner at Oswego County Salvation Army

OSWEGO – Vona’s Restaurant in Oswego, will provide the next Salvation Army Guest Chef Dinner on June 13, serving from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m., at the Worship and Service Center, 73 W. Second St.

The staff of the popular restaurant will prepare chicken Parmesan over pasta. It will be served with tossed salad, bread, assorted desserts, and beverages.

There is ample parking and the building is fully accessible.

Dinners may be eaten in our dining room or carried out.

Vona’s Restaurant was started by current owner Joey Occhino’s parents, Tom and Mary Vona, in 1946, and has been helping to satisfy the community’s taste for Italian foods for the past 71 years. They offer full service family dining and catering of banquets and special events.

The Guest Chef Dinners have been held six times each year for the past 10 years.

Although early records are incomplete, more than 5,000 meals are known to have been served and more than $61,000 raised.

The dinners are organized by the Salvation Army Corps Advisory Board and offered to the community to raise funds for fresh-cooked meals in Fulton and Oswego and for other services that are provided to individuals and families in need throughout Oswego County.

Future Guest Chef Dinners this year will be provided through the generosity of the Zonta Club of Oswego on September 12, the Press Box on October 17, and Canale’s Restaurant on November 14.

Information about The Salvation Army or about serving as a volunteer is available at 343-6491 or at the office at 73 W. Second St.
