In the hustle and bustle of a barbecue disaster relief event, the lash of storm Uri and COVID-19 were almost forgotten in Buda. In the six-day event, over 31,000 meals were served to Hays County residents. 

The feeding effort had a small trial run on Feb. 20 and Feb. 21, where Tito’s Barbecue team partnered with the Central Texas Veterans Center and gave 5,000 meals to everyone who came. Seeing the success of the barbecue, a decision to expand the effort was made. Within 72 hours, a new relief effort was set.
