Since the COVID-19 pandemic began affecting the area last month, Chris Barlow has been at the forefront in donating free meals to various police departments. But the owner of Big Barlow’s BBQ and Catering in Barnegat Township is now involved in a campaign to help the seriously injured child of a close friend.

Barlow said that Memphis Rank,  the 2-year-old son of Mike Rank, was recently injured in a lawnmower accident at home. He is at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, where he has undergone numerous procedures and awaits more surgeries.

“Mike has given to this community so much and never asks for anything back,” said Barlow.
