shawn gives back

Being a proud Virginia boy also means it’s important to give back to his home. On Christmas Eve, the Culpeper restaurant hosts a free meal for area homeless individuals, senior citizens and public servants, including police officers and first responders on duty that evening. Shawn also humbly gives his time, along with plenty of food donations, to support his church and kids’ schools.

“I love it when I’m at a soccer or baseball game and someone recognizes me as ‘The Barbecue Guy.’ Everybody knows each other in this area, and that’s exactly the kind of place I’m thrilled to call home.

“Sure, I want Shawn’s Smokehouse BBQ to be known for fantastic food. But I also want people to know who I am and what values my family stands for. That’s how I can make the biggest difference for my community.”

Host a Spirit Night for your organization, business, school, or sports team here at Shawn’s. Just contact us and we can go over the details and schedule your fundraiser.
