What a summer! ☀️🇺🇸
From hot days to rainy days, we made some great memories at the weekly Veteran Cookouts! It was a summer filled with good food, great conversations, and wonderful support for our local Veterans.

We couldn’t have done it without the incredible volunteers and community sponsors who helped make these gatherings possible. Thank you for being part of the fun and supporting our Veterans!

We will miss seeing you each week, but we’re already looking forward to next year! Until then, stop by and say hi when you’re in the neighborhood.
