On this episode of KC Cares we talk with Stan Hays, founder of Operation BBQ Relief. When a devastating tornado hit Joplin, Missouri, pitmaster Stan Hays answered the call the only way he knew how—with barbecue. That moment lit the flame for Operation BBQ Relief, a nonprofit now serving hundreds of thousands in times of crisis. In this KC Cares interview, Stan shares the emotional roots of OBR, the gaps it fills in disaster relief, and how barbecue became therapy through Camp OBR. It's not just about food—it's about connection, comfort, and showing up when it matters most.
