There is NO COST for approved veteran resource organizations to host a resource table.

Know a veteran who could use a weekend to breathe?

Gateway Family Services is now accepting registrations for our 2026 Veteran Retreats — and we'd love your help spreading the word.

Each retreat runs Friday evening through Sunday noon, designed around busy schedules so a full weekend away is actually possible. Lodging and meals are included, and there is no cost to the veteran.

Veterans will spend time with horses, get out on the water, gather around a fire, and connect with others who get it — all supported by a skilled team of mental health professionals.
Available dates:
📅 June 19–21
📅 June 26–28
📅 July 10–12
📅 July 31–August 2
📅 August 14–16
📅 August 28–30
📅 September 18–20
