While started by American Legion Post 21 in collaboration with The Bunkers Coffee House for Veterans, this is not a Post 21 initiative, but rather a veterans helping veterans project. The purpose is not just to give care packages, but to spend time talking with veterans for a few hours and let them know their service to the United States is still appreciated.

If you want to know more about the Kenosha Cares for Vets program and how to get involved, contact one of the veteran organizations listed above through their websites.

Here are two new photo albums. They can also be found on our Media page, available from the main menu.

The first album features the KKFV team delivering care packages to veterans at the Dayton Hotel.

This second album shows how the care packages came to be. Here the KKFV team and volunteers assembling care packages.

WTMJ’s James Groh visited us at the bunkers last week, and joined in on the fun! Here’s the story he came away with:

WTMJ’s James Groh: A group of veterans and volunteers pose for a photo inside The Bunker’s Coffeehouse for VETS.

While you’re listening to the video, listen carefully for “Kenosha Cares For Vets” a group started by American Legion Post 21 in collaboration with The Bunkers. As stated in a previous article, this isn’t just for the holidays, we plan on doing this periodically. Contact us for more information!

The Bunkers Jo Wynn collaborated with American Legion Post 21 this past couple of months to come up with a way to get Veterans staying at local facilities like the Dayton House and Waters Edge some help and comraderie. Jo donated most of the contents of the very well received donation bags which included the note below. Post 21 plans to do something like this at least once a quarter, and we would appreciate any donations for this new Kenosha tradition.

Note that any group or veteran group can participate. While Jo supplied the much needed and welcomed supplies, Post 21 volunteers went to visit the Dayton and Waters Edge this holiday season. We stayed at the Dayton for a couple of hours handing out the bags and communing with the Veteran’s staying there. It was fun and rewarding.

Please contact us with donations or questions about the program.
