OUR MISSION

With every bottle you buy, a portion of your purchase is added to our veteran & first responder project fund and is allocated to the non-profits we are partnered with.

WE GIVE

Once we have enough funds to cut a check, we donate to our local charity partners to make sure veterans & first responders are getting the help they need.

WHY WE GIVE BACK

The reality of life on the frontline extends far beyond the battlefield. Countless brave souls who have served our communities and nation face an often unspoken battle.

It's a reality we cannot ignore. In recent years, the toll has been significant. We've witnessed losses within the ranks of officers, firefighters, EMTs, active-duty service members, and reservists.

This challenge is one that deeply concerns us. The statistics may be unsettling, but they drive our unwavering commitment to make a difference. We believe in collaboration with effective organizations and non-profits within the veteran and first responder community. Together, we can offer life-changing access to vital services for those in need.

MAKING A LASTING IMPACT

At 13 Stars, our commitment goes beyond words; it's deeply rooted in actions that touch the lives of those who protect and serve our nation.

In addition to supporting non-profits, we extend our hand by offering hot sauce donations to local fire stations, police stations, and military installations. These small acts of giving are our way of saying 'thank you' to the heroes who keep us safe.

MEET THE OWNER

Meet Sean Maloney, a devoted chili-head, fitness enthusiast, and an enthusiastic astronomy geek.

Sean's journey in the world of hot sauce and culinary delights began long before his birth, sparked by his mother's cravings for hot sauce during pregnancy. As an Air Force veteran, Sean's experiences have given him a profound understanding of what it truly means to serve one's country.

His deployments not only shaped his perspective on life but also put things into perspective. Realizing that family and friends are the true treasures in life, and that our time on this planet is fleeting.

With this newfound clarity, he felt a deep desire to give back to those who had dedicated their lives to making the world a better place.
