Assistance League President Mary Ann Wade is preparing for the organization’s annual lobster sale.
Maine lobsters are coming to Birmingham as a fundraiser for the Assistance League of Birmingham.
Now in its fifth year, the sale has been a popular excuse for groups in the area to plan lobster parties.
The lobsters can be ordered live or freshly steamed and wrapped to-go.
The deadline for orders is May 3, and the lobsters can be picked up Friday, May 10 from 3-6 p.m. at Assistance League of Birmingham,1755 Oxmoor Road.
Lobsters are $25 each and can be ordered by calling 960-1040.
The league’s all-volunteer membership administers the three nonprofits. PrimeTime Treasures opened in Homewood (located at 1755 Oxmoor Road) in 1977 and
features unique, handmade items by Alabama seniors and has returned over $3.9 million to these artisans.
Operation School Bell provides new clothing to area school children at 28 local schools. Since 1985, the program has provided clothes to more than 25,000 youngsters. Operation Literacy provides reading tutors to students who are reading below grade level and offers additional help to new English learners.
