The Always Serving Project®

Operation BBQ Relief is dedicated to service 365 days a year – not just in moments of crisis. Central to this commitment is “The Always Serving Project®,” a program launched in 2019. Through this initiative, we empower our volunteers, including heroes in uniform and their families, to continue serving their communities by feeding those in need.

VISION
Use education as a catalyst to Connect, Inspire, Serve, Educate and Feed those in need.

GOALS
By equipping our Military, Veterans, Families of the Fallen, First Responders, and their families with invaluable culinary skills and the support of our purpose-driven community, we empower them to continue serving their communities by feeding those in need.
