The boys from BBQ for the Homeless is at it again!!
This time we are taking our cookers to the Michigan Veterans Foundation in Detroit.
We are cooking for their annual stand-down on July 19th. This is a large facility that houses about 100 homeless veterans and offers all sorts of programs from basic heath and counseling services to job training and placement, substance abuse intervention, legal and benefits help, PTSD counseling, transportation assistance, meals and clothing, support groups and other services.
Diesel Dave and I toured the facility yesterday and were very impressed with all they had to offer our returning veterans
Ebijack and Dave M are also on the BBQ for the Homeless team and are providing their support as well.
And our old friend Tuscaloosa Q, Paul Shirley from Shirley Fabrications is providing a smoker that we are going to use in all our upcoming events!!
Here are a few pictures of the facility. For those in the Detroit area, the property has been purchased by Mike Illich and is going to be raised as part of the new arena complex. So they are moving next year into a brand new state of the art facility. I have seen the drawings and it is in the shape of the Pentagon. Very impressive.
The pictures in order are of-
the picnic area where the cooking will be done
the kitchen (with Tyrone Chatman, MVF director and our own Diesel Dave and one of the cooks, I did not get her name)
one of the storage rooms with donated supplies, there are several rooms like this packed with stuff
one of their tour buses
a pic of some of their museum items, its messy because they are preparing to move)
Tyrone again with their mascot (I cant remember his name, I am getting old LOL)
thanks for looking! More to come I am sure
