Hickory – Veterans Coffee Connection, a new coffee group for veterans of all ages and branches of military service, will enjoy their first cup of coffee together at 8:30am on August 30 at Outback Steakhouse in Hickory. Thereafter, the group will gather on the last Thursday of every month at 8:30am.

The coffee group, sponsored by Catawba Regional Hospice and hosted by Outback Steakhouse, is designed to be a welcoming place for veterans to meet other veterans in the area. This free gathering is a great place to share a cup of Joe, some tasty Krispy Kreme doughnuts, and swap stories.

In addition, veterans may also learn more about government resources, veteran’s benefits and non-profit organizations who provide veteran’s support in our community.

Catawba Regional Hospice is proud to be a Level IV partner of the We Honor Veterans program, an awareness program spearheaded by the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization and the Department of Veterans Affairs.
