Adult Learner & Veteran Services at CSU
In the spring of 2024, we took a tour of the newly expanded center for veterans and other adult learners on the CSU campus in Fort Collins. We were so moved by what they were offering and their dedication to the wellness and success of student veterans that we voted unanimously to donate $5000 for their programs. We are proud to be recognized on their donor wall (below).

A Basket of Gift Cards for Local Veterans Experiencing Homelessness
Our unit partnered with Veterans Life Magazine and Aims Community College Veteran Services for an event at Gilded Goat Brewing Company called "Stories & Care Packages: Vets on the Home Front" in December 2024. Veterans shared stories they'd written about home, holidays, and more as guests enjoyed foods from the SerVe cookbook and locals beers. Through cookbook sales and a donation of $1/beer from the Gilded Goat, we raised $705 on the night. All of it went toward the purchase of $15 gift cards for fast food restaurants, distributed through the Northern Colorado Veterans Resource Center.

MEMORIALS in Honor of Local Veterans
Our members were particularly moved by two local veterans who continued to serve our local communities long after their military service had ended. In their memories, we donated in their names:
$500 in memory of U.S. Navy veteran Jacques "Tony" DuMosch of Loveland, CO, for the Veterans Honor Monument
$500 in memory of U.S. Air Force veteran Charles "Charlie" Doggett of Fort Collins, CO, for the Veterans Plaza
