🔥 Huge shoutout to our absolute heroes over at White’s Ace Hardware ! 🙌
They just rolled up and hooked us up with an entire truckload of top-tier supplies to keep our community fed and fueled! When it comes to the good stuff, they don’t play around—we’re talking premium Smokey Woods, charcoal, wood, and pellets. 🪵🔥
This is the exact fuel we need to fire up the smokers and get incredible BBQ out to people in need.
📍 Catch us tomorrow at the Hamilton County Fairgrounds!
Thank you, White Ace Hardware, for stepping up in a massive way and helping us make a difference. Community taking care of community—that’s what it’s all about! ❤️

Day 3 of feeding those in in need here in Indiana! Over 1300 meals in 3 days! Help is keep going by donating at smokingpastorproject.com

We’re feeding people. Every single day. No days off.

We just committed to three meals a day, every day, for the next several days, partnering with the Red Cross. That’s real food, real relief, real hunger being met — right now.

Here’s the reality: it takes real dollars to keep this going. We’re feeding people for $3 a meal. Show me anywhere else you can feed someone a real meal for that. It costs us about $2,000 a day to keep the mission running.

We’re not backing down. We’re not slowing down. But we need your help to keep the fire going.

👉 Go to smokingpastorproject.com and donate today. Every dollar puts a plate in someone’s hands.

Closing the doors on another day, but not before feeding over 600 people in the last 24 hours. 🔥

That’s the mission — every single day. But it comes at a real cost: it takes about $2,000 a day to keep these meals going out, and right now we’re knitting the funds together to keep the fire lit.

We’re also in desperate need of reliable transportation to keep getting food where it needs to go. If you know a car lot, a dealer, or anyone who might be able to help us out — tag them below. 🙏

Every share, every tag, every dollar keeps 600+ people fed tomorrow. We appreciate you more than you know. ❤️‍🔥

Out here serving people

This week we failed. Smoking Pastor Project ran out of meat at a catering — no excuses, we just ran out. Then our smoker shut off overnight, so 6AM found me buying hotdogs.

I’ve always said we don’t serve hotdogs, we offer something better because our neighbors deserve dignity. But this week I learned something: sometimes what I was calling “dignity” was really just pride.

Failing is human. Staying humble through it — that’s the work.
