Breaking Bread with Heroes Breakfast

Pull up a chair. Operation Honor: Rural Salute and the Robert Irvine Foundation are bringing Breaking Bread with Heroes to Gettysburg, and this is the opposite of another town hall. It’s a free, sit-down breakfast for veterans, service members, first responders, spouses, and families. Real food, real conversation, no red tape.

This is a morning to refill the tank. Good food, and a room full of people who understand the parts of service that don’t always get talked about.

The morning includes a suicide prevention training: practical, approachable skills anyone can use to recognize when a fellow veteran, friend, or family member is struggling, and to help connect them to support. Rural veterans too often carry these burdens far from help. This is about making sure our community has the tools to show up for one another.

Seating is limited. Every seat is spoken for the moment you register, so please only reserve a spot if you truly plan to be there. If your plans change, cancel so a fellow veteran can take your seat.

And don’t just come for breakfast. Right after, at 11 AM, the full Operation Honor: Rural Salute community day kicks off at the Gettysburg Area Rec Park with vendors, resource organizations, music, family activities, and more, running until 6 PM. The whole day was built for you.

HACC Gettysburg Campus Room 130. July 25. 9 AM. Breakfast is free, but registration is required so we can prepare enough food.
