2022 Salute to First Responders provides free lunch

In appreciation for their service, area first responders are invited to a free barbecue lunch during CoxHealth's annual Salute to First Responders.

The salute is held in honor of local first responders and in thanks for the work they do to keep the region safe. It is open to all first responders, and no RSVP is required.

Now in its seventh year, lunches will be served to-go at most hospital locations. Cox Barton County’s lunches will be delivered directly to first responders. Each boxed lunch includes a hamburger and chicken sandwich, potato salad, baked beans, chips, cookie, and a drink.

The events are scheduled from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. where CoxHealth’s hospitals are located:

• Cox Monett, Friday, August 12
• Cox Branson, Friday, August 26
• Cox North Hospital, Thursday, September 22
• Cox Barton County, Friday, August 19 – Lunch will be delivered to first responders
