Community Hope is an outreach program providing housing and many other essential services to transitioning veterans.
The mission of the VFW is to foster camaraderie among United States veterans of overseas conflicts. To serve our veterans, the military and our communities. To advocate on behalf of all veterans.

Members of the band include: Conor Schaar – Bass & Vocals; Paul Machado – Guitar & Vocals and Michael Sliker – Drums & Percussion. For more informaton on ELI, click here.
