Operation BBQ Relief

Operation BBQ Relief is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit corporation founded May 24, 2011, in response to a need for relief efforts in tornado-stricken Joplin, Missouri. Compassion and the healing power of BBQ are a powerful combination. Our Disaster Response Program (DRP) and our Always Serving Project (ASP) non-disaster program complement each other, allowing us to fulfill our mission to connect, inspire, serve, educate, and feed those in need. The DRP puts meals in the hands of those impacted by natural disasters (over 3 million and counting), while the ASP focuses on the Fight on Hunger, Military/Veterans, and First Responders. #WeAreOBR #OBRcares
