Lucille’s Bar-B-Que Donates to Armed Forces Chamber in August 2025

In a heartfelt show of support for America’s veterans and service members, Lucille’s Smokehouse Bar-B-Que has made a generous financial contribution to the Armed Forces Chamber, an organization dedicated to serving veterans, active-duty military, and their families. The donation was made in August 2025 as part of Lucille’s ongoing commitment to giving back to the community.

Founded on principles of family, tradition, and service, Lucille’s Bar-B-Que has long been known for more than just its mouth-watering ribs and southern hospitality. This month, the beloved restaurant brand proved once again that it takes its community responsibilities seriously by backing one of Nevada’s leading veterans organizations.

The Armed Forces Chamber, led by Founder and CEO Andre Haynes, provides essential services to military personnel and their families. These include employment assistance, housing support, business development services, and access to legal and healthcare resources. With an ever-expanding footprint in Nevada and neighboring states, the Chamber has become a trusted resource for thousands of military families.

“Lucille’s generous support helps us serve those who have served our country. We're grateful for their commitment to our veterans,” said Andre Haynes, Founder and CEO of the Armed Forces Chamber. “This contribution will allow us to expand our services and directly impact the lives of military families in need.”

This donation is part of Lucille’s larger community outreach strategy that includes partnerships with local nonprofits, fundraisers, and charity events throughout the year. The August 2025 initiative specifically focused on honoring those who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces and assisting them as they transition back into civilian life.

This partnership between Lucille’s and the Armed Forces Chamber demonstrates how private businesses can meaningfully support the military community. With the help of public donations and corporate partners like Lucille’s, the Armed Forces Chamber continues to fulfill its mission to “serve those who serve.”

As veteran homelessness, unemployment, and mental health challenges remain pressing issues across the country, collaborative efforts between nonprofits and businesses play a vital role. Lucille’s contribution underscores the power of community engagement and the importance of recognizing the sacrifices made by military personnel.

For veterans and families seeking support, the Armed Forces Chamber offers a comprehensive range of programs. And thanks to donors like Lucille’s, those services will reach even more people in the coming months.

As August comes to a close, the message from this partnership is clear: honoring veterans isn’t just a seasonal gesture — it’s a year-round commitment. And through meaningful partnerships and continued community support, organizations like the Armed Forces Chamber can keep making a difference where it matters most.
