People in Humboldt came out to support the Futuristic Industries Barbecue last week.

On August 17th, the non-profit organization sold burgers and pie in hopes of raising enough money for the upgrades.

Iris Philippon from Futuristic Industries explains what the fund will go to for this years barbecue.

"Our funds are going to go towards a better kitchen facility than we have now."

Philippon talks about why the upgrades are necessary.

"It is quite old, and there is more people using microwaves and stoves and stuff than in years gone by so we need more room in there. It's quite crowded."

Futuristic Industries supports adults with intellectual disabilities and helps those with disabilities participate as citizens of the community.
