A Place of Peace

VetREST is a nonprofit dedicated to mentoring veterans while providing farming opportunities in safe and supportive environments. One of their latest projects was transforming a World War II-era victory garden at The Bomber Restaurant in Milwaukie. Dozens of volunteers and organizations assisted with the construction in the first half of 2020, and the garden had its first harvest that summer. VetREST has identified two more garden sites for 2021. For more information, contact Oregon chapter director Ron White at 503-880-8809 or rwhite@vetrest.org.
