From milk and eggs to Spam and pantry staples, we have everything you need to help fill your shelves. Shop the pantry your way and leave with food your family will actually use.

We’ll also have hot coffee, treats from Dobo's Delights Bake Shoppe, and great conversation with our volunteers in Jim’s Lounge.

Whether you need support 🤝, a cup of coffee ☕️, or just want to stop by and say hello 👋 — we’d love to see you today.

Making the move to Troy was not a decision that we made lightly, but ever since we've arrived, we have been welcomed so wholeheartedly by the community. The Troy Ohio Chamber of Commerce has had their (figurative) arms wide open in welcome ever since our first time meeting them. We are so happy to have found such a wonderful place to build our future as an organization! ❤️❤️

We are looking forward to seeing our veteran, military, and caregiver families this Saturday, June 13, for Family Fun Day!

This is one of our favorite events of the year, and we're especially excited to finally have a big backyard where we can really spread out and have some fun. We'll have games, crafts, water activities, and plenty of opportunities to make summer memories together.

Family Fun Day is just one of the ways Operation Veteran and Caregiver Support brings military-connected families together to build community, enjoy time with one another, and create lasting memories. We are thankful to VFW Auxiliary Post 4874 Piqua for their generosity in sponsoring all the fun for the day!

We'll be firing up the grill and serving hot dogs for lunch from 11:30 a.m.–12:30 p.m., so come hungry and ready for some old-fashioned summer fun!

We can't wait to see you there!

One of our favorite mornings is back.

Craft Co-op is more than a craft class—it's a chance to slow down, enjoy good company, share a meal, and create something with your own hands.

Whether you're a regular or joining us for the first time, we'd love to have you.

See the final slide for event details and registration information. We can't wait to craft with you!

Freedom is not free and never guaranteed. Today we remember the Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, and Marines who answered the call on a beach in Normandy, many of them making the ultimate sacrifice for the freedom of people they would never know.
