Last meals served. Site packed. Still feeling it. In 17 days, we provided 45,837 meals across the Hill Country—thanks to 359 volunteers and @TxFirewalkers, who shared their smokers and hearts. Kerrville, we’re heading home. But if you ever need us again, we’ll be back. ❤️

As Hurricane Milton approaches, today is our last day serving meals in Tampa Bay. We'll be back after the storm! Meanwhile, we're still serving in TN, NC, & SC for those recovering from Hurricane Helene. Stay safe. Together, we’re #FloridaStrong 💛

Today, we served meals in 21 locations in FL, NC & TN to communities hit by Hurricanes #Milton and #Helene. 500,000+ meals have been provided, but it's not enough. We need you! No experience needed—just download the "OBR Volunteers" app or sign up at OBR.org.

6 hours after Hurricane Helene made landfall, our 18-vehicle convoy left Alabama and arrived safely in Tallahassee. We're setting up multiple cook sites and smoking thousands of pounds of BBQ for tomorrow's meals. Stay tuned for meal distribution locations & bulk orders for 50+!

With nearly 600,000 meals provided after Hurricanes Helene & Milton, this monumental effort wouldn’t be possible without our generous sponsor @Mercury1Charity. Their unwavering dedication and commitment helps us go further, ensuring no one ever faces devastation like this alone.
