History of Burnt Offerings BBQ

A few years ago, a desire to open a non-profit BBQ company was placed in founders Steven and Libby Lang’s heart to help others in need.
In 2018, the Lord provided the way to do so. During Hurricane Harvey in August of 2017, Steven and Libby wished they could provide a way to bring meals to those who were impacted by Harvey, but at that time, they were unable to. In the early part of 2018, the Lord began opening doors, so Steven and Libby began making preparations to open a new non-profit company called Burnt Offerings BBQ.
The plan was to begin operations in the summer of 2018 after their summer vacation had taken place. All the legal documents were in order as of Tuesday, May 15, 2018, that authorized Burnt Offerings BBQ to accept donations and operate as a legal non-profit company.
Then on May 18 the tragedy at Santa Fe High School happened. A shooter walked into the school and killed 10 people. Santa Fe, Texas is where Steven and Libby call home and they knew they could not sit by and do nothing to help their community.
Steven quickly reached out to a pastor in Santa Fe who graciously opened his church to Burnt Offerings BBQ and a week after the tragedy, first responders from Santa Fe and the surrounding communities were served pulled pork, smoked chicken, sausage, beans, and potato salad.
We have continued to cook and serve people and communities in need since that day.
