ALEXANDRIA, VA – Renee Watts is one of Pork Barrel BBQ’s most beloved team members. She brings sunshine to everyone she meets. Renee recently lost her home in a devastating fire. She is safe but has lost a lot—clothing, furniture, cherished memories, and the place she called home.

According to Pork Barrel BBQ owner Bill Blackburn, “Renee is always smiling. She is one of the bright lights behind the counter. I don’t know what we would do without her.”

Despite her overwhelming loss, she is back at work with that same brilliant smile.

Renee started working at Pork Barrel BBQ over eight years ago. Blackburn says, “She is part of the heart and soul of Pork Barrel BBQ and Del Ray.. Both her coworkers and customers love her. She is a tireless worker and always shows up in person and in spirit. “

She is currently staying in a hotel and arranging new accommodation. Here is the opportunity to help her get back on her feet. The Del Ray Business Association has established a GoFundMe account.

Gayle Reuter, one of Del Ray’s guiding lights said of Renee after making a donation, “Am heartbroken for Renee’s loss and hope she can feel the love of the Del Ray community.”

We hope you can too. The link to the GoFundMe page is here. 

Any donation, big or small, will make a difference. Share the love, kindness, and support for Renee by sharing this fundraiser link.

PLEASE NOTE: The Del Ray Business Association Foundation is organizing this fundraiser; 100% of donations will go directly to Renee.
