    Operation BBQ Relief (OBR) - Update: NE & IL Flooding

    From OBR, 3/23/2019:


    Partners, Sponsors and Supporters,


    Across the midwest historic flooding has been occurring and we have responded to the needs in the Omaha, NE area and Freeport, IL area from the flooding. The numbers are not huge as many have left the area but quite a few could not leave the area and we have been working to ensure those people receive a good hot BBQ meal. This makes our first two deployments for 2019. We are keeping our eyes open in Missouri as the flooding is just north of Kansas City and additional flooding heading towards St Louis.


    In Nebraska, we have been working with a partner of our Famous Dave's BBQ. They have been helping us by cooking the food at their restaurants and we are helping coordinate where to get the meals too. Meals started Wednesday this week and through Saturday we have served 3225 hot bbq meals to those in need in Nebraska. We are projecting 800 for Sunday.


    In Illinois, our team set up yesterday and deliver the first meals today. They delivered 1200 today and project 1000 for Sunday.

    At this time we are trying to determine the need into next week. It sounds like in Nebraska areas will be opening up and people will be coming back to start cleaning up their homes. We are not sure yet in Illinois about the needs after Monday.

    I will keep you updated. Thank you for your support! If you have not been following this in our social media don't forget to check out our Facebook, Instagram or Twitter daily.

    Great group and a well oiled machine. If they are operating within driving distance, I highly recommend volunteering. It's a great feeling and very enjoyable.

      Since the Texas hurricane OpBBQ is my favorite place to contribute on behalf of victims of natural disasters. My contribution was sent last Friday. Thanks for the update and all of your hard work. Dave and Nancy

          This alone is worth the price of admission to The Pit. Thanks for all you do!
