Outback Steakhouse gives $1 million donation to Operation Homefront

Outback Steakhouse is donating $1 million to Operation Homefront, a nonprofit organization that provides emergency and morale assistance to active duty troops, veterans and their families.


Country music superstar, Tim McGraw, has partnered with Outback for a month-long “Thanks for Giving” effort. Outback customers can express their appreciation to our troops by ordering from the “Red, White and Bloomin’” menu. Proceeds from will help to meet the $1 million commitment to Operation Homefront. The menu will be available through March 31.
Outback has also partnered with Tim McGraw on his Southern Voice concert tour, scheduled to visit more than 60 U.S. cities this spring and summer. Proceeds from a Southern Voice commemorative t-shirt will also be donated to Operation Homefront.

“When I learned about Outback’s commitment to the troops and history of helping our local communities, it really felt like the perfect fit to partner with them in their efforts,” said McGraw. “Together with Outback, our shared goal is to help raise awareness and funds to help our selfless servicemen and women.”
