You’re always serving and so are we. The Always Serving Project is an extension of the Operation BBQ Relief program serving Military, First Responders and the Fight on Hunger. Together we will connect, inspire and serve communities throughout the year with the Healing Power of BBQ. We aim to bring people together to eradicate hunger, addressing an issue that hasn’t been solved in each of our communities.
Our Mission
We are focused on three primary goals:
1. The National Fight on Hunger
2. Creating a positive impact in the lives of first responders
3. Continuing our support for military and veteran communities.
We believe that together in partnership with military and first responders, we will change the world.
