“The Bunker is a place where the coffee is always hot and goodies are on the table. A place of no judgement and fun conversation. The Bunker is a home away from home. A place where Veterans can come for camaraderie with those you don’t have to explain anything to.”
Officially registered as NCW Veterans Serving Veterans, The Bunker (as it is more commonly referred to) is a non-profit in Wenatchee formed in 2008 for the sole purpose of helping veterans in need, whether the need be VA paperwork support, emergency assistance, or referrals to other veteran resources in the area. The Bunker is an all-volunteer run organization, with monthly board meetings open to the public on the second Wednesday of each month at 1000 at their location in Wenatchee.
Main area of support is Veteran camaraderie through coffee, snacks, games, and conversation. The Bunker also provides assistance with the VA system (healthcare, benefits, etc) such as filing claims and appeals. Volunteers with the Bunker are also known for proactive rapid response when veterans in need reach out. Thanks to the generosity of community donations, there is also a food, clothing, and toiletries pantry available for those in need.
