Where else, but at the Veterans Breakfast Club, can you gather for a casual meal and meet a 101-year-old Navy WAVE codebreaker from World War II, a Silver Star recipient from Vietnam, and a Top Gun F-18 pilot all at the same time?

The Veterans Breakfast Club has been bringing these people and more together for face-to-face storytelling events since 2008. People come to listen and learn, connect and heal, and say thank you to those who’ve served.

These breakfasts began informally in 2008 with some 30 World War II veterans. They grew to give our organization its name and serve as the flagship for a growing array of storytelling programs where veterans of all eras and branches of service could share their experiences with the public. Most of these in-person events are held in the Pittsburgh region, but we’re branching out to other locations to reach more veterans and hear more stories. One week we might might be in a VFW hall, then next week a country club or a banquet room.

We serve breakfast at 8:30am, start the program at 9:00am, and bounce around the room with the microphone until 10:30am listening to as many veterans as we can. You never know what you’re going to hear. There are often a few tears, and always a lot of laughter. Join our community of listening by coming to one of our face-to-face storytelling events!

Come to our live, in-person breakfast in Sewickley, PA.

We meet at Christ Church Grove Farm (249 Duff Rd, Sewickley, PA 15143). You’ll walk in, pick up your name badge, and meet others who are there to hear and share the stories. Breakfast is served at 8:30am. At 9:00am, we start the program. For the next 90 minutes, we circulate the room with the microphone and have veterans share a slice of their service experience. You never know what you’re going to hear, and there’s always new people with new memories to offer.

RSVP by calling 412-623-9029 or emailing joann@veteransbreakfastclub.org. Please make sure to RSVP for events at least two days in advance. We understand that your schedule can change quickly, but advance notice of attendance always helps us and our venues prepare the program. Thank you!

We had such a terrific time last year that we are going to do it again!

Foodtruck burgers aren’t for breakfast. Neither is beer. So, why does the Veterans Breakfast Club hold an event at Grist House Brewing on a warm, Tuesday evening?

We do it for the stories. We’ll set up our PA system for an Open-mic night. Come share a story at the unique indoor-outdoor Grist House space and hear from veterans and their families about their service and their experiences in and around the military.

Our annual Burgers and Craft Beer event draws people from around the region for a relaxed and fun vibe, great food and drink, and our own VBC infused recipe of education, inspiration and connection.

Join us!

Everyone is welcome, and you don’t need to be a veteran to attend.

Bring your kids. Bring your dogs. Bring your friends.

We’ll have the whole place to ourselves, and we’re grateful to Grist House for opening their doors up to the Veterans Breakfast Club for this special evening.

We’ll have our usual fast-moving and wide-ranging program with plenty of participation, stories, laughter, and conversation. Veterans of different eras and branches of service will share memories and reflections from their time in uniform—and often from life before and after service as well.
