“THANKS FOR WHAT YOU DO.”
You give. Go above and beyond. Protect our lives, liberty, homes and community. At MISSION BBQ, we’re right there with you helping out with time, service, fundraising and great food to fuel those extra efforts. Through the generous support of our loyal customers and communities we serve, more than $20 million dollars and counting has been donated for national and local charitable organizations. It’s the right thing to do, and we really believe in these missions below. Thanks.

Concerns of Police Survivors
Each year, between 140 and 160 officers are killed in the line of duty and their families and co-workers are left to cope with the tragic loss. C.O.P.S. provides resources to help them rebuild their shattered lives. C.O.P.S. knows that a survivor’s level of distress is directly affected by the agency’s response to the tragedy. C.O.P.S., therefore, offers training and assistance to law enforcement agencies nationwide on how to respond to the tragic loss of a member of the law enforcement profession. To get involved and learn more, visit concernsofpolicesurvivors.org
CIA Officers Memorial Foundation
The CIA Officers Memorial Foundation supports the well-being and educational needs of children and spouses of all fallen CIA officers.
