The Foo Fighters frontman, 55, and his friends donated more than 24 hours of their time to help feed the homeless. On Sunday, Los Angeles non-profit Hope the Mission — which aims to "prevent, reduce and eliminate poverty, hunger and homelessness, per its website — shared an Instagram Reel featuring Grohl and his pals barbecuing 70 pork butts for The Woodlands Family Shelter in Woodland Hills, California. In the series of clips, the "Everlong" artist can be seen overseeing the making of barbecue sauce and preparing pulled pork sandwiches for people in need. "Happy Super Bowl Sunday from @davestruestories and Hope the Mission!" the post's caption read. "Dave and his pals BBQ’d 70 pork butts for 24+ hours 😳 Right now we are here at The Woodlands Family Shelter sharing this delicious meal with our participants. Thank you to Dave and his friends from his studio for hanging out with us and spreading love through a hot meal. #foofighters turned into #foodfighters 😇" Dave Grohl Barbecues for 24 Hours to Serve 500 Meals at Los Angeles Homeless Shelters This isn't the first time Grohl has shown his charitable side In December, he took some time off Foo Fighters' tour to volunteer in Melbourne, per Daily Mail, while the legendary rock group — comprised of lead vocalist/guitarist/songwrier Grohl, bass guitarist Nate Mendel, lead guitarist Chris Shiflett and rhythm guitarist Pat Smear, organist Rami Jaffee, and drummer Josh Freese — was on tour in Australia. After Foo Fighters performed at Melbourne's AAMI Park in the days prior, Grohl stopped by The Big Umbrella — a street kitchen charity for the homeless — to volunteer. According to the Daily Mail, the rocker was serving food for several hours at Melbourne's Federation Square location.

At the time, a representative at the nonprofit confirmed to PEOPLE that the former Nirvana drummer and some friends cooked more than 500 meals for three shelters in the city. Grohl arrived with a massive smoker trailer in tow, which they used to cook smoked brisket, ribs, pork butts and sides like coleslaw and barbecue beans. The crew also prepared food out of the kitchen at the Trebek Center, a skating-rink-turned-homeless-shelter that the late Alex Trebek supported. The 19-time Grammy winner personally paid for all the expenses and barbecued outside during a rainstorm. While the meat was smoking, he took naps in the parking lot, per TMZ.
