We’re excited to announce a special fundraising project: a Veteran Community Cookbook, filled with recipes, stories, and traditions from the Veterans in our community!

We are asking Veterans to send us their favorite recipes to be considered for inclusion in the cookbook. Recipes can be anything that has meaning to you, including:

Family recipes passed down through generations
Military or deployment-inspired meals
Favorite comfort foods
Breakfast, lunch, or dinner recipes
BBQ , grilling favorites, sauces , dressings
Soups, stews, and side dishes
Desserts and baked goods
Holiday or special-occasion recipes
Along with your recipe, we would love for you to include your name, branch of service, and years or era of service. You may also include a short story or memory about the recipe—perhaps where it came from, who taught you to make it, or why it is special to you and possibly the Veterans military photo.

Recipe Submission Information: (DEADLINE SEPTEMBER 20TH)

Veteran's Name:
Branch of Service:
Years/Era of Service:

Ingredients:

Optional Story, Memory, Picture:

Our goal is to create more than just a cookbook. We want to create a collection that honors the Veterans in our community, preserves their stories and family traditions, and brings generations together through food.

The completed cookbook will be sold as a fundraiser, with proceeds supporting the programs and services of the Hudson Valley National Center for Veteran Reintegration and our continued work serving Veterans and their families.

Please share this request with the Veterans in your life. We would love to include recipes from Veterans of all branches and generations of service.
