Our Veterans Food Pantry is up and running this morning. All veterans and active duty are eligible. Open until 12pm today!

Everyone is excited about the reopening and we are looking forward to seeing you all next week. It is going to take our whole village to do this successfully. If you can spare time and talents please contact us today.

We are set to reopen next week! We are going to start slow with the lounge open on Tuesdays and Friday with some special Wednesday meals coming up on the 10th and 17th. Where we go next will be detrmined on the level of interest we measure. If you want to help get the Post back to full operation then try to make it to enjoy good food and drink when we are open.

Veterans Food Pantry is this Saturday from 0900-1200. If you know a veterans or a current service member who could use some help please send them our way!
