Some gatherings raise funds. Some raise spirits. All of them are about the same thing — standing shoulder to shoulder with veterans.
It's where the name comes from, and it's still the heartbeat of ETS. On the third Saturday of every month, the community gathers at the VREC for food, fellowship, and a warm welcome.
Veterans, families, volunteers, and neighbors — everyone's welcome at the table. Bring an appetite and an open afternoon.
Third Saturday monthly · 11:00 AM · The VREC, 5402 43rd Avenue S., Minneapolis, MN 55417


A full day on the course at Edinburgh USA in Brooklyn Park — and one of the biggest fundraisers of our year. Bring a foursome, sponsor a hole, or do both.
Every registration and sponsorship goes straight back into programs for veterans.
A community walk confronting the hardest number we know — veteran suicide. We walk to remember, to stand with those still fighting, and to remind every veteran that staying in the fight is never done alone.
In crisis now? Call the Veterans Crisis Line: 988, then press 1, or text 838255.


Our signature night out — dinner, stories from the veterans we serve, and the kind of generosity that fuels a whole year of programs. Reserve a seat or host a table for your company.
Every event exists to fund the mission. You can do that right now, from right here.
