Stubb’s Brings 2nd Annual “Feed the World” Tour to the Men’s Shelter of CharlotteBarbecue for the homeless is Thursday, May 13, at noon
(CHARLOTTE, N.C.) — The 2nd Annual Stubb’s “Feed the World” Tour comes to Charlotte on Thursday, May 13, 2010, to provide a Texas barbecue lunch beginning at noon for approximately 200 homeless men at the Men’s Shelter of Charlotte, located at 1210 North Tryon Street.
Austin, Texas-based Stubb’s embarked on its first Feed the World tour in June 2009 to fulfill the mission of company founder and Texas barbecue legend, C.B. “Stubb” Stubblefield, who said: “I was born hungry and I want to feed the world.” Today, Stubb’s is the nation’s #1 brand of super-premium barbecue sauces, rubs and marinades.
“We traveled more than 10,000 miles in 2009 and barbecued for thousands of homeless and hungry people across the nation during our first tour, and we couldn’t be more excited about second tour,” said Stubb’s Legendary Kitchen President and CEO Kurt Koegler. “Stubb’s greatest joy was feeding the people who came from all around for a taste of his famous barbecue and it is an honor to continue fulfilling his mission with our tour stop at The Men’s Shelter of Charlotte.”
Stubb’s visited Charlotte during its inaugural Feed the World Tour in 2009. This year’s tour includes two new cooking trailers and an updated tailgater museum to spread the company’s history and mission. The tour will partner with charities in each city it visits on the 2010 Feed the World Tour to barbecue for the hungry and homeless.
“We are very pleased to be the Charlotte partner for Stubb’s ‘Feed the World’ tour,” said Men’s Shelter of Charlotte Executive Director, Carson Dean. “We know that hope begins with a hearty meal. We appreciate Stubb’s continued support of the Men’s Shelter of Charlotte as we feed the mouths and the souls of those facing homelessness.”
Among the dozens of cities on the tour schedule are New York, Chicago, Memphis, San Francisco, and Phoenix. For more information on the tour schedule and mission, go to www.stubbsbbq.com. (END)
