It’s Over After This: DAV Chapter 8’s Final Free Breakfast for Disabled Vets Is Saturday
Free Breakfast for Disabled Veterans in Yakima This Saturday
This Saturday, April 18th, will mark the final free breakfast for the Disabled American Veterans Chapter 8 in Yakima. D.A.V. Chapter 8 has been a large supporter of our military vets and often hosts job and health resource fairs, vocation rehabilitation, free breakfasts for Yakima County disabled veterans.
A local volunteer in Yakima helps make breakfast for Disabled American Veterans Chapter 8.
The nonprofit group's volunteers cited dwindling membership and lack of participation as the catalyst behind this being their last free breakfast for disabled veterans.
Various local businesses have donated food and beverages for the chapter's breakfasts, including Tree Top in Selah, who are listed as a juice sponsor for the final breakfast on Saturday.
The D.A.V.'s final free breakfast will run from 7:30 a.m. to 11 a.m. at the Disabled American Veterans Chapter 8 headquarters at 911 N 15th Ave. The building is located right off North 16th Ave.
