Our Story
Founded in 2021 by Jeff and Joy Stehney, Joe’s KC Cares Foundation emerged from a desire to continue the legacy of Joe’s KC BBQ within the Kansas City community. Joy, a breast cancer survivor, is passionate about ensuring that cancer patients have access to essential resources like transportation and safe accommodations during treatment. Meanwhile, Jeff, a BBQ Hall of Famer, is dedicated to providing children with healthy meals and food education, empowering families to create nutritious dishes with simple ingredients.
