Brownwood residents can support childhood-cancer assistance through a fish fry fundraiser planned by VFW Post 3278 and its Auxiliary. Proceeds will benefit Hope from the Heart for Childhood Cancer – Brown County Chapter.

The fundraiser is scheduled at 2300 Stephen F. Austin, with service listed from 10:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. The announcement identifies the event as Friday, but it contains conflicting date information: its headline says Oct. 16, while the event details say Friday, Sept. 18. Because the source was published Oct. 6, 2026, readers should confirm the date directly with the VFW before making plans.

Meal and ordering information

A plate costs $14 and includes fried fish, coleslaw, hush puppies, beans, red sauce and tartar sauce. Advance orders may be placed by calling the VFW at 325-646-8113.

Delivery will be available in the Brownwood and Early areas beginning at 10:30 a.m. The announcement says drivers will not carry change, so customers using delivery should plan accordingly.

Dine-in and walk-in options

Dine-in service will be available in the Veterans’ Canteen only. Walk-in orders may be available beginning at noon, according to the announcement.

The fundraiser supports the Brown County chapter of Hope from the Heart for Childhood Cancer. The supplied notice does not provide additional details about the beneficiary’s programs or how much the event is expected to raise.
