On Aug. 17, 2025, Operation BBQ Relief proudly joined fellow community organizations at the 2nd Annual Salute to American Heroes Celebrity Benefit Concert in Clearwater, Florida. The event honored the service and sacrifice of our nation’s military veterans and first responders while raising funds for the charities dedicated to supporting them. Our CEO and Co-Founder Stan Hays had the privilege of addressing the crowd, sharing the story of Operation BBQ Relief and our mission to feed communities in times of disaster while enriching the lives of our everyday heroes year-round.
