We Help Veterans!
VetREST seeks to mentor Veterans while providing farming opportunities in safe and supportive environments where they can achieve wellness themselves and produce healthy food for our nation.
The East Coast Dining-In event provides a spirit-filled evening, rooted in military tradition, with an unparalleled fusion of fundraising, fun, and ceremony.
The evening’s events will bring our supportive, philanthropic, and giving community together to raise awareness and bring forth a special appeal to help VetREST develop and implement a National Mentoring Program to expand our reach and impact.
This great event is being presented in partnership with BESThq and the Marketplace Catalyst (presented by Serving Our Neighbors).
