Fort Lewis IVAW chapter opens "Coffee Strong" coffeehouse


The newly formed IVAW Fort Lewis chapter, along with IVAW Seattle and the GI Voice Project have opened Coffee Strong, a GI coffee house that will serve as the as a space for military veterans, active duty soldiers, military families and supporters to meet and discuss the war, deployment, PTSD and the hardships of life in the military. Coffee Strong will also be the base of operations for the Fort Lewis Chapter.

The project is completely funded by donations from supporters – it will take over $3500 per month to keep this resource available to the community. Coffee Strong opened its doors on November 5th, and a grand opening concert with Son of Nun will be held at 9pm on November 15th. Stop by the coffee house at 15109 Union Ave SW, Lakewood, WA to show your support! Get more information and make donations to support Coffee Strong at www.givoice.com.
