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 - |

ParTech, a leader in Point of Sale systems has donated a POS cash register to Dryhootch for Brady Street. This system will help Dryhootch control its costs and ensure programs are helping our veterans!

Milwaukee's Stonecreek Coffee has donated the coffee brewing systems to Dryhootch's Brady Street location! Owner Eric Resch and his great staff have been supportive of Dryhootch since we brewed our first pot of great Dryhootch Coffee (roasted by Stonecreek here in Milwaukee). 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
The Steinhafels furniture Company has donated over $5,000 of furniture to the new Dryhootch building so veterans and their families can attend meetings, groups, and relax as they work to find a way back home! We ask you to support companies like Steinhafels who chose to support our veterans and families. The next time you stop by their store, tell them "thank you"

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!
