On Saturday, The Knights of Columbus are putting on a benefit dinner for the Luberts family to help them get back on their feet.

The Luberts family lost everything they owned when flames engulfed their home in the early hours of December 31st. Fire fighters rescued seven family members from the rooftop of the house where they were trapped. They were treated at Harborview Medical Center for smoke inhalation and heat burns.

All proceeds of the pasta with meatballs dinner will go to the account at Key Bank set up in the family’s name. Tim Simunds, a member of the Knights of Columbus, said some of the younger family members were uninsured and the money raised at the benefit dinner will help pay the medical bills.

“The family affected by this tragic fire has been a long-time member of this local community both in the St. Alphonsus Parish as well as Ballard,” Simunds said.

“Our hearts go out to them and we want to support them. The lost everything in the fire.”

Simunds said they’re preparing dinner for approximately 300 people. The dinner includes meatball pasta, rolls, coffee and punch.

The Luberts Family House Fire Benefit Dinner will be held Saturday, Jan 15, at 6:16 in the St. Alphonsus Parish Family Center on 1415 NW 58th St.
