Our Mission
At Cookouts & Camaraderie Inc., we are dedicated to supporting active-duty military personnel and their families through the power of shared meals and meaningful connection. We host community cookouts, holiday events, and food distribution efforts that remind our service members: you are never alone.

Why We Exist
Serving in the military is an honor — but it also comes with long deployments, separation from family, and financial strain. Too often, military families quietly face hardship, especially during holidays and times of transition.
We believe no one who serves their country should ever go hungry, feel forgotten, or lack support.
That’s why we stepped in — to create a space where military families can gather, share a meal, feel appreciated, and be surrounded by community.

What We Do
- Host free community cookouts on and near military bases.
- Provide holiday meals and care packages to military families.
- Build partnerships with local vendors, volunteers, and donors.
- Foster camaraderie and gratitude through every event we host.
