When disaster strikes, every hour matters. Help Operation BBQ Relief keep the fire burning, so volunteer pitmasters, mobile kitchens, and hot barbecue meals are already on the way while communities are still counting what they have lost.
Gifts of appreciated stocks, bonds, or mutual fund shares are a meaningful way to provide “The One Hot Meal That Matters” to communities recovering from disaster and to the heroes who answer every call.
Please contact our accounting team at accounting@obr.org to arrange a stock, bond, or cryptocurrency transfer.
