Restore 22 is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to providing a relaxing, informal environment for military veterans to connect with each other and with resources that can enhance their quality of life.
What started as a vision to create connection and community for veterans is becoming a reality. Soon, we’ll open the doors to a welcoming space designed to support veterans while being open to everyone in the community — a place built for conversation, encouragement, and connection.
As we work through the final steps of preparing the shop, finances are tight, but we’re continuing to step forward in faith, trusting God to provide along the way.
We’re asking for your help to carry us across the finish line through our GoFundMe campaign.
Your donation will go directly toward furniture, equipment, operating needs, and the finishing touches that will help create a comfortable and meaningful gathering place for veterans, their families, and the community.
This coffee shop will be more than just a place to grab coffee. It will be a place where veterans can connect with one another, build relationships, and find hope and support in a welcoming environment — while also bringing the broader community together around a shared table.
Thank you for believing in this mission and helping us bring Restore 22 Coffee Shop to life. We can’t wait to welcome you through the doors this summer and show you what your generosity helped build.
Seldom in life are we surrounded by those that truly understand the sacrifices, struggles, joys and kinship found in the military - especially today. I really enjoy the camaraderie meetups because it makes me feel like I matter and other members value who I am; it helps to build a positive difference in how I feel about myself. Additionally, it enriches my compassion for others. These meetings provide a receptive place to express our feelings, feel seen, supported, and valued. When we can let go of all the superfluous nonsense and be comfortable just being ourselves - reminiscing about fun times and tough, we find some of our most needed human moments are met by those for whom we are grateful and who are also grateful for us.

I tend to be someone who has a difficult time getting out and meeting people. Coffee and Camaraderie has been an amazing and enjoyable experience. It has allowed me to not only meet veterans in my area, but release some of the burdens that linger after getting out of the military. It can be very difficult to connect with people after getting out, and this program has allowed me to sit down in a quiet, comfortable, and thoughtful setting where other veterans like myself can gather and talk about our experiences both past and present.

As a soldier I never served in a combat theater. However, while I was an MP at Fort Hood, soldiers were injured and killed in traffic crashes and field training exercises, and illegal drugs and alcohol consumed many victims. I have never missed one of our Military Coffee & Camaraderie sessions. It is great to hear from men and women of all ages about their experiences and service in our military. It is very valuable to learn about helping resources and activities for those with PTS symptoms. Christine and Rob guide our conversations in a very thoughtful and helpful way. I do not dwell on the past and generally have a positive attitude. I find that our meetings help me to do that.
