Dear Operation BBQ Relief Family, Operation BBQ Relief began with a simple but powerful mission: to bring BBQ, comfort, and hope to our neighbors in Joplin, MO after an E5 tornado leveled their city. 12 incredible years later, we find ourselves celebrating an astonishing achievement - 11,000,000 meals provided.

We hit this milestone during our most recent deployment after Hurricane Idalia

Behind this extraordinary number lies an even more incredible story - the story of our unstoppable volunteers. Scorching heat, pouring rain, or any other challenging condition that comes along never slows them down. They do whatever is needed to ensure no one goes hungry after disasters.

We want to hear these volunteer stories from you! Our annual volunteer awards will be here before you know it, and we encourage you to nominate the volunteers you have witnessed go above and beyond in their service. You can submit your nominations and find more details through the following link:

As we celebrate our 11 millionth meal, we extend our heartfelt thanks to each and every one of you who has been part of this incredible journey - our volunteers, sponsors, donors, and supporters. Your contributions have made a real difference in the lives of countless individuals and communities.

While this milestone is a moment of reflection and gratitude, we're not slowing down. With disaster season upon us, we're gearing up to provide even more meals, comfort, and hope. Together, we'll continue to make a positive impact where it's needed most.

Follow along on our social media so you don’t miss a moment, and please share our posts with friends and family!

Thank you for being part of this extraordinary community and for helping us achieve this incredible milestone. Here's to many more meals, stories, and moments of unity in the days, weeks, and years ahead. With heartfelt gratitude, Stan Hays Co-Founder and CEO Operation BBQ Relief
