Wilmer Valderrama traded his NCIS badge for barbecue tongs, and the Town ‘n’ Country, Florida community couldn’t be more grateful. On March 29, the actor rolled in with his E.P.U. team to help locals still struggling after Hurricanes Helene and Milton hit back-to-back last fall, per sources.
Partnering with Operation BBQ Relief and the Hillsborough County Tax Collector’s Office, Valderrama helped serve over 2,500 hot meals. But it wasn’t just about food, it was about hope. Locals got face-to-face help with storm recovery, insurance issues, and property claims.
