From the Heart
January 2023
Message from the Co-Founders
Operation BBQ Relief is off to a great start in 2023. We held a Leadership Summit to discuss processes and procedures to identify short and long-term goals for the organization. We enjoyed meeting volunteers from the southwest Florida area at the Volunteer Appreciation Dinner. We continue to participate in The Always Serving Project events throughout the country while expanding Camp OBR. We have added 3 dry cabins to Camp OBR with 3 additional cabins scheduled to be added in the upcoming weeks.
Please take the time to review our impact data since Operation BBQ Relief began in 2011. We appreciate the support from each of our volunteers, sponsors, and donors who have contributed to impacting communities in need.
