A Place for Veterans to Reconnect
Veterans, friends, and family, share a cup of coffee, lattes, sodas, juices, and stories. Join the camaraderie of others who've been where you've been; who share that special bond of serving their country and have felt the daily toll of being in harms way. - see more - |

Dryhootch Coffee is a Social Place
Where one can come and meet old buddies, make new friends, share stories, and remember and salute those who did not make it home. Where a great cup of Java and good friends bring back the good memories , great stories while you enjoy some jazz, poetry, or a good movie. It's a great place and time to reflect and laugh again.- see more - |

Dryhootch Coffee is a Healing Place
Dryhootch Coffee is safe place where the troubles, fears, and worries of service and sacrifice can be addressed. Learn skills on how to cope and how to deal with the memories that won't go away. Groups on addictions, PTSD, and family involvement are available in a warm and inviting atmosphere that promotes healing and reflection. Information by vets, for vets, on what government programs are available to help you, your family, or a friend. - see more - |
Through the grant, Dryhootch is finishing our Mobile Canteen that will serve as our outreach into the community. It will serve as our coffeehouse on wheels, a place to conduct surveys of veterans and to provide information to troops, veterans, and family on programs and benefits they may not be aware they are entitled to.
The grant will not allow any funding for the building of the Dryhootch Center, so fund raising continues for this meeting places.
Look for our Mobile Canteen, or invite us to your Chapter, Post or community event. If you would like the Mobile Outreach to pull up to your event, contact Dryhootch today!
Announcing Family Support Groups

Milwaukee's Stonecreek Coffee has donated the coffee brewing systems to Dryhootch's Brady Street location!

Now he's donated our coffee systems, his staff is helping us in setting our shop up correctly and will train us on how to make a great "Loose Lips Latte!" So the next time you think of stopping by Starbucks, drive up the street to a Stonecreek Coffee Shop and say "thank you for helping our veterans!" Find their locations at www.stonecreekcoffee.com
Steinhafels Donates Furniture!

Dryhootch Announces Milwaukee Location!
Dryhootch Milwaukee is set to open at 1030 E Brady St near UWM, MSOE, MATC, Marquette & MIAD campuses. The building offers an outdoor courtyard great for music, sitting, & drinking coffee. The first floor will be a coffee house where a veteran, family member, or the public can enjoy some great Dryhootch coffee, a pastry, or more. The 2nd floor offers a space for vets to get away, take in a group on PTSD, AA, NA, or join an online group.
Watch for our open house weekend to be announced soon to see the space, and chip in on work, cleaning, or donating needed items. We are excited about the potential of having a place where veterans and families can connect to services and community!
