Sheldon, Iowa — A local truck body manufacturer has made a donation to a group that helps serve meals in the wake of disasters.
Maintainer of Sheldon donated a service truck body on Tuesday, April 3rd, to Operation BBQ Relief. Professional Competitive BBQ chefs were on hand to cook for Maintainer employees prior to the presentation.
Stan Hays, the CEO of Operation BBQ Relief tells us about their organization.
He says they thought they’d be in Joplin for 4 or 5 days and serve four or five thousand meals. But he says it turned into something much bigger.
Tom Wibben of Maintainer tells us how they first became aware of Operation BBQ Relief.
Wibben tells us what Operation BBQ Relief needed.
He says Maintainer’s niche is customizing their truck bodies, and that’s what they did for Operation BBQ Relief as well.
Will Clever with Operation BBQ Relief tells us what the donation means to them.
To date, Operation BBQ Relief has served over 1.7 million meals in 24 states.
