A big thank you to Red Door Remedies for sponsoring last week’s Senior Meal.

One thing we’ve learned through this program is that compassion comes from all corners of our community. The team at Red Door didn’t hesitate at all when given the opportunity to help local seniors, and we’re grateful for their support.

Because of businesses like Red Door, we’re able to put real meals in front of real people and continue building a program that serves some of the folks who helped build Cloverdale.

Thank you to everyone at Red Door Remedies for helping us take care of our neighbors.

If your business would like to sponsor a future Senior Meal, we’d love to hear from you.

Week after week, these senior dinners have become more than just a meal. They’ve become familiar faces, conversations, laughter, and something for people to genuinely look forward to.

This past week’s senior dinner was personally sponsored by Melanie Hall, and that means a lot to us.

Melanie has believed in this program from the very beginning. Not only as the director of the Senior Center, but as someone who truly cares about the people who walk through those doors every week.

In a world where it’s easy to do the minimum, she continues to push for something better for the seniors of this community. Better meals. Better experiences. Better care.

That kind of support matters more than people realize behind the scenes.

We’re grateful for the trust she’s placed in Black Oak Barbecue and proud to keep building something meaningful together for Cloverdale’s seniors.

Thank you Melanie.

Today we want to give a giant heartfelt thank you to Cloverdale Wellness for once again stepping up and sponsoring our Senior Meal Program.

This is now the second time they have chosen to support the seniors in our community and that means something to us. In a world where it is easy to talk about community, they continue to actually show up for it!

Because of their support, local seniors are able to sit down to a warm meal made with care, dignity, and quality ingredients. Not leftovers. Not an afterthought. Real food made with love and respect.

What makes this special is that it goes beyond sponsorship. It is neighbors taking care of neighbors. It is small town community at its best.

From all of us at Black Oak Barbecue, and from the seniors who shared a meal, thank you for believing in what we are building here in Cloverdale.

Please support the businesses that support this town.

Most people probably don’t expect to see smoked carrot demi glacé being worked on for a senior dinner in a small town community center. But that’s exactly the point.

We’ve been approaching these meals with the same mindset we would bring to any major event or dinner service. Fire, patience, detail, and respect for the people sitting down to eat.

These carrots were smoked low and slow, then finished with a carrot reduction built from the vegetables themselves. Not because anyone asked us to. Not because it’s the easiest way to do things. Because we genuinely love the craft and believe our seniors deserve food made with care, intention, and pride.

This whole experience has reminded me that barbecue is bigger than trends, social media, or lines out the door. At its best, it’s about people. Community. Taking something humble and giving it your full attention.

We’re doing this for the love of the game and for the people who helped build the communities we all get to enjoy today.

Last week’s Senior Dinner was made possible in part through the support of Todd Lands and his company Todd Lands Construction

Todd has been part of Cloverdale’s leadership for years, serving as mayor and now as vice mayor, but more importantly staying present in the everyday life of this community in a real and consistent way. What stands out most is not the title, but the willingness to continue showing up where it matters and staying connected to the people who live here.

For our third week, featuring Grandpa’s Ribs, this support helped strengthen the foundation of what these dinners are becoming. A place where seniors are not just served a meal, but are given a moment that feels intentional, warm, and rooted in respect. Each plate carries more meaning than food alone. It carries care, consistency, and the reminder that this community is paying attention to its own.

Support like this allows us to keep building this effort week after week with stability behind it. It ensures that what we are creating is not temporary, but something that can continue to grow and hold value for the people it is meant to serve.

We are grateful to Todd and Todd Lands Construction for being part of that support and for continuing to stand behind the seniors and the community that raised all of us.

Last Thursday we continued something special here in Cloverdale.

Our second Senior Dinner was served through the community, with the same goal in mind, to make sure our seniors are cared for, seen, and able to enjoy a proper meal.

Dahlia & Sage Community Market stepped in to support that.

They not only sponsored meals, but also provided the potatoes and green beans that helped bring the plate together, making it possible for more seniors to participate through the center.

This is not about giving things away.
It is about making sure people are included, with dignity and care.

Dahlia & Sage understands that.

They have always been a place that feels connected to this town, and this was just another example of that.

We are grateful to have them alongside us as this continues to grow.

If you are part of this community, take a moment to support the businesses that support Cloverdale.

Tonight’s dinner at the Cloverdale Senior Center.

Slow smoked chicken, green beans made from scratch, and classic sides.

We’re proud to be part of something that feeds people the right way.
This program works because the community shows up.

Meals are available through the Cloverdale Multipurpose Center.
Please contact them directly for ordering and availability.

If you’d like to support, sponsorships help provide meals for local seniors.

We’ll see you next week.

Last Thursday marked the beginning of something meaningful here in Cloverdale.

Our first Senior Dinner at the Cloverdale Senior Center was served through the community, thoughtfully prepared, properly portioned, and built around the idea that our seniors deserve the same level of care and quality as anyone else.

And Cloverdale Wellness stepped forward to support that.

They chose to sponsor meals so more seniors could participate through the center, helping extend the reach of the program without changing what it stands for.

Because this is not about giving things away.
It is about making sure access and dignity can exist at the same time.

That balance matters.

What Cloverdale Wellness did goes beyond a simple sponsorship. They invested in something local, something intentional, and something that reflects the values of this town, looking out for one another, showing up when it counts, and taking pride in how we take care of our community.

There is a difference between being in a town and being part of it.

Cloverdale Wellness showed what it means to be part of it.

If you live here, this is the kind of business you stand behind. The ones that quietly do the right thing and support something bigger than themselves.

We are proud to have them alongside us as we build this week by week.

We’re preparing a six-week, pre-order only barbecue project focused on supporting our local seniors.

This is not a pop-up.
This is not a walk-up.

Every plate will be accounted for before we light the pit.

Over the coming weeks, community members and local businesses will have the opportunity to pre-order or sponsor senior meals as part of this series. The structure is intentional so we can execute calmly, responsibly, and with care.

We’re grateful for the opportunity to work with our seniors.
