Strouderosa BBQ delivered a substantial amount of supplies to relief organizations in Kerrville over the weekend, the barbecue joint shared to Facebook Wednesday.
Last week, the Advocate reported that Matt and Trisha Stroud would head to Texas Hill Country in the wake of disastrous July 4 floods to assist in relief efforts. On July 16, Strouderosa’s Facebook provided an update on their efforts to supply the Texas Fire Walkers and Operation BBQ Relief.
According to the post, the Strouds donated 9000 to-go containers, 9000 eating utensil sets, 10,000 gloves and 320 trays and lids to the organizations providing no-cost meals to residents in affected areas. A second delivery of over 6,000 to-go containers followed, along with other supplies. In addition to monetary donations from Lake Highlands neighbors, Vector Brewing contributed to-go containers and utensils.
Matt and Trisha, who both have family members in the area, were supported in the effort by Rick Happel of Happel Mechanical. Trailers were provided by A-American Self Storage.
“Without your donations, none of this would be possible,” the post wrote. “My heart is pouring with gratitude! I asked and you delivered. Truly, thank you so much.”
The supplies were given to the Texas Fire Walkers and Operation BBQ Relief, two nonprofit organizations engaging in disaster relief in the area. Based in Kansas City, Operation BBQ Relief has provided more than 25,000 no-cost meals to families in the area since July 4, according to a post from July 14.
