Sponsor the Mission

The 2026 Annual Sponsor Drive

One Sponsor.
One Tier.
Real Impact.

We are not asking for a big check. We are asking four organizations or businesses to each claim one tier in our 2026 sponsor drive. Together, those four sponsors fund everything we need for a full year of expanded operations.

We have served 150 meals to 11 veterans in 10 weeks and never missed a Monday. We did that on $1,500 in donations before we ever made a formal ask to anyone outside the Post family. Now we're asking.

"One sponsor at each tier feeds 10 veterans three meals a week for an entire year — and we still have money left over."

What $9,000 Accomplishes

1,560 meals — 10 veterans × 3 meals × 52 weeks

$7,769

Kitchen upgrades — equipment & supply reserves for launch
