About this event

Veteran and Military Community Rally Point

Join us at St. Andrew's Church Hall for a FREE dinner dedicated to our local service members and veterans! This in-person gathering is a fantastic opportunity to connect, share stories, and show our support. Each dinner is open to the entire community, so whether you've served or are currently serving, you're a military family member - including Gold Star families - or simply want to be part of the fun, all are welcome!

We'll be hosting these events on the last Saturday of every month at 5p.m., with the exceptions of November and December which will be held on the Saturday nearest to Veterans Day and the first Saturday, respectively. For questions, opportunities to volunteer, or for more information please feel free to email us at vmcommunityrallypoint@gmail.com.

The Veteran & Military Community Rally Point provides a space where veterans and service members from Orange County and neighboring counties can gather, share resources and ideas, participate in conversations about critical issues—from advice on accessing earned benefits, to trauma and suicide—and connect with the larger community. All Community Rally Point sessions will be facilitated by a retired service member with extensive experience in the mental health field.

Is this a religious organization?

No, St. Andrew's Church has simply, and graciously, provided the venue for our event.

Is this really free? What's the catch?

Yes! Thanks to our supporters, we're able to provide our Community Rally Point meetings at no cost. There is no catch! We don't even accept donations, but if you'd like to help please see below.
