Signal Hill, CA – Throughout November, family-owned, award-winning barbeque destination Lucille’s Smokehouse Bar-B-Que is honoring our military with free meals and raising funds for Operation Homefront’s Holiday Meals program.

“Especially at this time of year, we want to say thank-you to the men and women who have dedicated themselves to protecting our country and to their families who sacrifice so much as well,” said Joan Hansen, director of marketing at Lucille’s Smokehouse Bar-B-Que. “Together with our guests, we hope to make difference in the lives of those who have given so much for our country.”

Throughout the month of November, guests at Lucille’s 21 locations across California, Nevada and Arizona can support Operation Homefront’s worthwhile Holiday Meals program by rounding up their bill to the nearest dollar and donating the change.
