Where are they now? Why Florida of course! There are still 11 days to donate to TFP in September and have your donations go to Operation BBQ Relief.
Update:

Operation BBQ Relief needs your help. We have spent the last 3 weeks in full blown disaster mode. We are taxing our volunteers, sponsors, partners, and equipment. We have served over 417,000 Hot BBQ Meals in two disasters. It is hot and I mean real hot and humid in Southwest Florida. It is wearing our volunteers down. We need volunteers to help over the next week so we can continue to help make a positive impact on the lives of those affected by Hurricane Irma and the first responders. If you can spare some time please volunteer. If you don't have the time please consider a monetary donation.

FLORIDA DEPLOYMENT UPDATE:
Operation BBQ Relief volunteers served 20,150 meals to victims and first responders affected by Hurricane Irma. This brings our 5 day total to 63,400 meals served, 11,500 of which were airlifted to the hardest hit areas of southern Florida. We cannot thank our dedicated volunteers enough who are battling the Florida heat and humidity. Stay safe brothers and sisters!
It is still early in hurricane season. These last two deployments have been really taxing on our resources. We need your help to ensure we don't run into any hiccups when future needs arise!

Another amazing first for Operation BBQ Relief. We heard about the needs down in the Keys and have been trying to figure out how to get food to those people who are in dire straights. Traditional methods of delivering food were not an option. As many of you have been following, we have airlifted meals in small personal aircrafts maxing at a couple hundred meals at a time. We knew we had to do more. We reached out to
FedEx. Within a day we had an answer, FedEx was there to help. They enabled us to take up to 10,000 meals a day to those in need. What an amazing caring group of people who understand their role in the world and how to make it a better place by doing what they can do. It reminded us a lot of the volunteers of Operation BBQ Relief and how they use their god-given talents in disasters for the betterment of those in need. We cannot be more appreciative of FedEx's flying in and helping Operation BBQ Relief get meals down into the keys. Thank Q FedEx!
