Supporting Those Who Served – Weekly Veteran Organization Spotlight 🇺🇸☕
Each week, Freedom Claims Agency highlights an organization that makes a meaningful difference in the lives of veterans, service members, and community heroes. This week, we are proud to spotlight a Wisconsin nonprofit that pairs a cup of coffee with community, connection, and life-saving peer support for those who served.
If you are a veteran or a family member, consider stopping in, connecting with a peer mentor, or joining a group to learn more about what Dryhootch offers. If you are a supporter, you can follow their pages, spread the word, attend events, or support their work so more veterans have a safe place to land and a strong community to lean on.
Dryhootch is a veteran-run nonprofit dedicated to helping veterans and their families navigate life after service by providing a safe, alcohol-free place to connect, share stories, and access peer-to-peer support. Through its coffeehouse model, Dryhootch creates welcoming spaces where veterans can drop in, grab a drink, and talk with peers who understand the challenges of transition, PTSD, addiction, and mental health struggles. Dryhootch offers peer mentoring, support groups, and family programming. It also provides links to resources addressing housing, benefits, employment, and wellness.
Dryhootch currently has two Wisconsin locations: one in Milwaukee and another in Madison. Both serve as “Forward Operating Bases” in the community, providing veterans and their families with a place to find camaraderie, support, and hope.
