Matthew McConaughey Helps Deliver Meals to First Responders Battling the L.A. Wildfires

Matthew McConaughey works with the Wild Turkey volunteers while preparing meals to deliver to first responders battling the fires on Friday (November 1) in Los Angeles.

The 49-year-old Oscar-winning actor worked with the disaster relief organization Operation BBQ Relief to provide 1,600 meals.

Matthew, the creative director of Wild Turkey Bourbon, made multiple stops throughout the day, including a visit to one of the busiest fire stations in the country. He also took to Facebook Live to encourage folks nationwide to volunteer and donate to support Operation BBQ Reliefs efforts throughout the country.

“Teaming up with Operation BBQ Relief as part of the Wild Turkey ‘With Thanks’ has never been more meaningful,” Matthew said. “Little did we know when planning this annual event that California, my second home, would once again be hit with devastating fires. Being able to provide meals to the men and women who put themselves on the line is an honor for me, Jimmy and Eddie Russell. We are grateful to be here today to say thank you, shine a light on their unwavering conviction, and hopefully inspire others to get involved and help in their own communities.”
