Chapter 1036’s food pantry outreach tackles food insecurity during critical times and supports veterans and families in need. By consistently providing financial aid, volunteer help, and essential items, the chapter demonstrates a heartfelt commitment to “never again will one generation of veterans abandon another”—in action and spirit.

A beloved fundraising tradition, the pancake breakfast is held each spring at the Bonifay Country Club in The Villages. Run by dedicated volunteers, this morning event invites members, families, and community friends for a delicious breakfast—while supporting vital chapter programs like the food pantry, memorial initiatives, scholarship awards, and veteran services.

Our Annual Golf Tournament is the chapter’s flagship fundraising event—pairing camaraderie with community impact. Held each fall at Bonifay Country Club in The Villages, it supports our vital programs like the food pantry, veteran services, scholarships, memorial maintenance, and more.

The Bob Evans Breakfast Club is a weekly informal gathering hosted by Chapter 1036 where members come together for good food and great conversation. It’s a relaxed, welcoming space to share stories, catch up on chapter news, and enjoy fellowship among fellow veterans and friends. All members—and guests—are invited to join in.

Each December, Chapter 1036 transforms its monthly meeting into a festive Christmas program, featuring a beautiful performance by the Village Youth Choir followed by a shared holiday meal. The event brings together veterans, spouses, family, and community members in the spirit of camaraderie and seasonal joy.
