A
For many people, barbecues are a chance to enjoy a meal with family and friends.
For Stan Hays, however, barbecuing becomes his skill to feed people in need when the
disaster happens.
The unique effort began in May, when a severe tornado
(龙卷风 )
hit Joplin,
about two hours from Hays蒺 home. His wife asked him to help. So, he put out the word
to his partners and headed down with his barbecue.
“
We thought we蒺d be there three to
four days, serving maybe 5,000 meals,
”
Hays said. But the need was there, so Hays
and over 300 volunteers worked for 11 days to meet the need.
It was a life-changing experience for Hays, who had never organized any type of
large voluntary effort before. While preparing to head home, he and his friends Will
Cleaver and Jeff Stith came to the realization.
“
A barbecue community is able to
respond to disasters like this quickly,
”
Hays said.
“
So, before we left, we put together
a plan to create the Operation BBQ Relief.
”
During the last eight years, the group has responded to almost 60 disasters across
the United States, including Hurricanes Harvey and Irma and the wildfires in northern
California. More than 6,800 volunteers have joined the effort, and the group often
partners with other organizations to serve the meals.
“
Barbecues are comfort food,
”
Hays said.
“
If you just lost your house or a loved
one, getting a hot meal would remind you of the barbecues you had in the backyard and
make you forget about the bad stuff in your life. That蒺s worth it to me.
”
