“We’re not just providing food; we’re restoring dignity and connection,” said Michelle Keller, Senior Director of Farm2Veteran. “Our veterans have sacrificed so much for our country, and they deserve more than just a meal—they deserve fresh, healthy food that’s grown with care. Our mission is to honor that by ensuring they get the nutrition they need in a way that respects them as individuals.”
Farm2Veteran’s work goes beyond food distribution. The organization also seeks to raise awareness and engage communities through impactful events such as the Farm Fresh Hope Gala and the Voices for Valor speaker series. These initiatives highlight the stories of veterans, celebrate their experiences, and bring attention to the widespread issue of veteran hunger. The Farm Fresh Hope Gala, scheduled for September 20, 2025, at the Field Museum in Chicago, will be a flagship event in the ongoing fight against veteran hunger. This gathering will bring together veterans, supporters, community leaders, and philanthropists for a night of celebration, reflection, and commitment to the cause. It promises to be an unforgettable evening that underscores the importance of community support and raises vital funds to sustain and expand the mission of Farm2Veteran.
For those who wish to engage with the movement and learn more about its impact, Farm2Veteran offers multiple ways to get involved, from attending events to making direct contributions. Every dollar donated makes a difference, helping to provide a meal that will nourish a veteran and offer them a renewed sense of respect and care.
“Farm2Veteran is not just about feeding veterans. It’s about making sure they feel seen, respected, and valued,” Keller added. “We believe that by working with trusted veteran service groups and focusing on fresh, local food, we can make a lasting impact on their lives.”
Farm2Veteran’s model is one of radical transparency, making it easy for donors to understand exactly how their contributions are being used. By providing fresh, farm-sourced meals instead of processed food or pantry staples, the organization delivers not only nutrition but also dignity to those who have served in the military. It is a mission rooted in care, compassion, and a deep respect for those who have given so much to protect the country.
With a rapidly growing network of partners, donors, and supporters, Farm2Veteran’s reach continues to expand, but the organization remains focused on its central mission: to end veteran hunger by providing fresh, locally sourced meals directly to veterans in need. Through its unique approach, Farm2Veteran is creating lasting change in the lives of those who have served, while also building awareness around the issue of veteran food insecurity in the United States.
