About this event

On the 22nd of every month (if we're open), US military veterans are invited to come in for a free cup of "joe" and get information that is related directly to them - services that are available for veterans and help finding those services. This statistic is low, but a couple of years ago, the statistic was that about 22 veterans a day commit suicide. We want to bring awareness to the public of that fact (which is alarming and shocking). We want to let veterans know that we see them and they are appreciated and honored for their service. Our shop, Doughboys Donuts, is a place for veterans to come to, fellowship, swap stories, have a refillable cup of coffee, and where they can find resources to help themselves or another loved one. We call it 22-a-Day, and Veterans Suicide Awareness Day. Veterans and Active Duty members, please kindly show your DD 214, or active or inactive military card, and enjoy your FREE refillable cup of joe. Thank you for your service!
