What a day! JBO recently hosted an incredible Community BBQ, and we’re still glowing from the love, laughter, and energy that filled the space. It wasn’t just about hot dogs and sunshine—it was about connection, healing, and solidarity among people and organizations doing transformative work across Utah.
🔥 Showing Up, Together
We were honored to be joined by amazing community partners who share our vision of justice, recovery, and peer-centered empowerment. A huge thank-you to:
- CaliSober Recovery Hub
- YPR – Salt Lake City, UT
- Kourageous Vision
- Michelle Hunt Peacock
- Odyssey House of Utah
- The Other Side Donuts
- DAY WON UTAH
Each of these organizations brought heart, purpose, and connection to the table. From sharing resources and personal stories to building new relationships, it was a beautiful reminder that we are stronger together.
🍽️ A BBQ with Meaning
Of course, there were delicious bites and plenty of backyard-style fun, but what stood out most was the spirit of the gathering: people coming together without judgment, in support of one another, in celebration of community resilience.
We saw neighbors reconnect. We saw new partnerships spark. We saw folks who often feel left out be welcomed and celebrated.
This is what justice looks like—not just in policy or courtrooms, but in picnic tables, shared meals, and honest conversation.
💖 Thank You, Community
To everyone who came out, shared space, told a story, or just enjoyed a brat in the sun: we see you and we love you. Events like this remind us why we do what we do.
