The Canteen Corner is a service that is something very special for Battle Borne to provide for many reasons.
We know countless veterans and even some of our team members who used to meet in the canteen area each morning before or after their groups, Dr. appointments, lab work, or any other appointment they had that morning for a cup of coffee and donuts. (Pre-pandemic)
The morning gathering with fellow veterans over some coffee and conversation served as a catalyst for how many of them began their day.
Each day, it was hosted/sponsored by a different community organization that supplied all the refreshments. This service was greatly missed when it halted due to the pandemic, even by the volunteer organizations who provided it.
We are very grateful that we are able to provide this service for the veterans of the Allentown VA Outpatient Clinic. We are coming into our 4 month now of volunteering. Not only because we know how invaluable it is, but because all the veterans who've stopped by these last 4 months have expressed it to us. They are so happy to see it coming back slowly. We are grateful for the support of our community partners who help us to provide services that bring veterans together. #TogetherWeRise
We can't thank the Wilkes-Barre VA Hospital / Allentown VA Clinic enough for bringing this service back through us and the other veteran and community organizations.
Our team is ready and eager to serve you. Come out and enjoy some hot coffee, camaraderie and conversation, and of course some delicious donuts ☕️ 🍩

Serving those who have served us is an honor 🇺🇲
