The franchise, through a generous sponsorship from The Dickey Foundation, has been providing meals to first responders who are tirelessly working to assist those affected by the flooding. 
 
“We knew from the start that we needed to step in and help,” said Tom Freeman, franchise owner of the Dickey’s Kerrville location. “The devastation was overwhelming, and these brave first responders are doing everything they can to help our neighbors. It’s an honor for us to serve them and provide the nourishment they need to keep doing their vital work. Our team is proud to be a part of this effort.” 
 
As part of a nationwide initiative to support relief efforts, Dickey’s Barbecue locations across the country will be donating $1 from the sale of each Big Yellow Cup at participating locations from Tuesday, July 15 to Sunday, July 20. All funds raised will go directly to the Kerrville Flood Relief Fund, benefiting the courageous first responders who are working tirelessly in the wake of the disaster. Additionally, The Dickey Foundation will match all proceeds raised, maximizing the impact of every donation. 
 
“We are deeply committed to our communities, and the work of the Freemans in Kerrville is a testament to that commitment,” said Maurine Dickey, Executive Director of The Dickey Foundation. “Through our partnership with the Freemans and the Kerrville Dickey’s team, we can provide vital meals to those on the frontlines, ensuring they have the energy and resources to continue their important work. We are proud to stand alongside them during this crisis.”

It’s incredible to see how the community is rallying together, and we’re so grateful for the opportunity to support the heroes who are helping rebuild our town.” 
 
In addition to serving meals in Kerrville, customers across the country can contribute by purchasing a Big Yellow Cup at participating Dickey’s Barbecue Pit locations. For every Big Yellow Cup sold, $1 will go toward the Kerrville Flood Relief Fund, supporting the first responders who have been working non-stop to help with recovery efforts. The Dickey Foundation will match all proceeds raised, ensuring the maximum impact of every donation.
