Average Joe’s
Bryan and Kendra Pennington exemplify what it means to care for others, even when one is suffering themselves.
With no power to operate their restaurant, Average Joe’s Classic Eatery, and with about $6,000 worth of meat likely to spoil the Penningtons donated their entire food supply to the shelter at Asbury United Methodist Church, where many Tulsans had sought shelter in the wake of a major ice storm and massive power outage.
The Penningtons confronted with no power to preserve their food supply donated it to other Tulsans late Tuesday afternoon. The power was restored at their restaurant early Wednesday morning. Odds are very good that the food in their walk-in freezer would have survived the intervening hours without problem.
