Rebuild Reo's Ribs
Donation protected
Reo Varnado has been barbecue king of Portland for 25 years. He recently rented a tiny corner space, and was soon expanding his menu.![](https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/20254460_1494555852.5394_funddescription.jpg)
He has been assaulted twice, and the building defaced, because Mr. Varnado is black. Period.![](https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/20254460_1494555916.9574_funddescription.jpg)
Please help us rebuild this Portland landmark, and make REO'S RIBS the best place in town for soul AND heart food.![](https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/20254460_1494555955.3518_funddescription.jpg)
I own the building which was torched. It's fully insured. Reo and Myra lost not only their business, but thirty years of blood, sweat, tears, and prayers. As their friend, I have to help, so here we are, thanking you all for your generous support.![](https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/20254460_1494556228.5326_funddescription.jpg)
Every penny collected will go to Reo and Myra. My own attorney was first donor <3. I am giving everything I can to help Rebuild Reo's Ribs, bigger and better than ever!
