Using his BBQ skills for charitable purposes, Grohl has cooked for hundreds of people at homeless shelters, including for Hope The Mission in Los Angeles. He has also cooked for firefighters battling California wildfires and for people displaced by the fires.
Grohl will also be honored for his community volunteer work at a Hope The Mission gala event, “Hope In The City Of Angels”, on October 18th at BMO stadium in Los Angeles.
Hope The Mission comments: “Long regarded as one of the most respected and prolific presences in modern music, Dave Grohl has been equally passionate in his offstage service to his local community.
“Without fanfare, Dave has volunteered for days at a time, preparing and serving meals to people experiencing homelessness and food insecurity. At this year’s gala, we honor him for inspiring advocacy on behalf of the less fortunate in his backyard, just as his music has provided hope and solace for fans the world over.”
Founded from a van in the San Fernando Valley, Hope The Mission has grown to become the largest rescue mission in the United States. Every day, Hope The Mission provides shelter, meals, medical support, and essential services to thousands of individuals and families throughout Los Angeles.
Since 1936, the Los Angeles Mission has served as a pillar of compassion in the heart of Skid Row. With a focus on dignity, stability, and long-term recovery, the Los Angeles Mission supports those who are often overlooked, offering food, housing, and a pathway to a better future.
