*Maurine Dickey, Founder and Chairman of The Dickey Foundation, Leads a Heartfelt Journey of Gratitude in California* 

Maurine Dickey, Founder and Chairman of [The Dickey Foundation](https://www.thedickeyfoundation.org/) (the charitable arm of Dickey’s Barbecue Restaurants) recently journeyed to California to personally thank the brave firefighters who selflessly protect our communities. Accompanied by dedicated Dickey’s Barbecue franchise owners Eric Lyon (Duarte, CA), Shannon Gauthier (Rancho Cucamonga, CA), and Perri Campbell (Riverside, CA), Mrs. Dickey visited local fire departments in each of those cities to deliver warm meals and heartfelt messages of gratitude.
 
“Every moment spent with these courageous firefighters reminded me of the true meaning of service and sacrifice,” said Maurine Dickey. “Listening to their stories of battling fierce wildfires and supporting families through unimaginable loss was both humbling and inspiring. It was an honor to show our heartfelt thanks and let them know they are truly valued.”
 
During these visits, firefighters shared intimate accounts of the emotional and physical toll of combating wildfires that have reduced entire neighborhoods to ashes. In a gesture symbolizing care and community spirit, the team presented “Legit. Texas. Barbecue.™” – a small token of comfort to brighten their challenging days. Although the visit at the Riverside Fire Department was cut short due to an emergency call, it served as a poignant reminder of the relentless dedication required of these everyday heroes.
