This summer, our veterans enjoyed more than a delicious meal. They experienced the power of community, fellowship, and partnership.
From May through September, generous community partners hosted monthly cookouts for the veterans we serve. These sponsors provided lunch and gave of their time and talents by preparing, cooking, and serving each meal. Most importantly, they pulled up a chair and shared the experience alongside our veterans, creating meaningful connections and conversations.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our 2026 Summer Cookout sponsors:
- May: Pathward
- June: Citi Salutes
- July: The Family of Alicia Collura and Mike Ver Wey
- September: Interim HealthCare and Aseracare Hospice
We are grateful for community partners who invest not only resources, but also their presence. Together, we are strengthening the bonds that help veterans live healthy and fulfilling lives.
Thank you to each sponsor for walking alongside us in this mission and for helping make this summer one to remember.
