Matthew McConaughey Helped Cook 800 Meals For First Responders Fighting California Fires

Matthew McConaughey is giving back by donating some time and money in an amazing way to the first responders helping out on the front lines of the devastating California wildfires currently raging.

The actor teamed up with Operation BBQ Relief and Wild Turkey Bourbon to cook, prepare, and deliver meals to first responders.

Matthew helped put together 800 BBQ turkey dinners for firefighters and other first responders and also personally thanked them for all that they do.

An additional 800 meals were prepared for homeless shelters.

In a statement, Matthew said, "Teaming up with Operation BBQ Relief as part of the Wild Turkey “With Thanks” has never been more meaningful."

"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," his statement continued.

"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.”

What an awesome gesture from Matthew!

Our thoughts are with the first responders and the victims of the wildfires at this time.
