Each year...

Union County Crime Stoppers gets excited for its Annual BBQ. The 2023 BBQ was held on Friday, January 20th, 2023 from 11:00am - 6:00pm at the Union County Agricultural Center. This was the largest turnout we've ever had. We fed over 5,000 people; dine-in, take-out, and delivery.

Thank you to the numerous volunteers and law enforcement officers who worked tirelessly to ​prepare for this event, to all who helped raise money for the Union County Crime Stoppers' one and only annual fundraiser. Proceeds help provide rewards towards anonymous tips given throughout the year that help to enable law enforcement to solve crimes in Union County.

Thank You to our Volunteers

Union County Crime Stoppers is a 501(c)3 organization operating solely by volunteers. There are no paid employees.

They begin days ahead to make sure everything is purchased and set up ready to go the day of the barbeque. They come one day prior to begin preparing and setting up. On the morning of the event they show up early to get everything ready to go out the door by lunch time. There are also teams of police officers that deliver take-out meals to area businesses who can't make it to the Ag Center for lunch.

​We couldn't do it without all the volunteers who work tirelessly to make the event a success! Special thank you the Union County Sheriff's Office, Monroe, and many more community members who gave time and energy making the Union County Crime Stoppers' BBQ the best one yet!
