2024 Jeeps4Vets Veterans Day Jeep Run

 

Veterans Day, celebrated on November 11, honors America’s veterans of all wars for their patriotism, love of country, and willingness to serve and sacrifice for the common good across various conflicts and periods of peace.

 

On Sunday, November 10, we will begin at Liberty Automotive in Libertyville. Registration starts at 10am to join the convoy of Jeeps as they travel to the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Hall in Lake Villa, IL where the Jeeps will take over!

 

Bring a non-perishable food item to help stock the Veterans Path to Hope food pantry as winter starts creeping in to help ensure none of our veterans have to experience food insecurity this winter. (The VPH list of recommended items can be found here: https://veteranspathtohope.org/donation-list/)

 

We will park at the train station parking lot, then drop off all of our donations. All are welcome to go inside the VFW for a drink or 2 and hang out while enjoying a delicious burger from the veteran-owned food truck Smash'D Burgers!

 

The afterparty is at Bootleggers Bar and Grill at 25491 Old Grass Lake in Antioch, IL with music, dancing, camaraderie, and fun. There will be plenty of parking. They will also have food and drink specials for us.

 

Veteran-owned and operated, Jeeps4Vets is an organization that hosts events in the area to benefit less fortunate veterans. We continue to partner with Veterans Path to Hope because together, we assist local veterans in northern Illinois and southeastern Wisconsin who need of housing, employment, food stability, counseling, and more to help them move forward.

 

Veterans Path to Hope stands as a bridge of support for those who have selflessly served their nation. Rooted in a profound commitment to honoring veterans, VPH is dedicated to providing comprehensive assistance to veterans and their families facing various challenges. At the core of their mission lie several essential programs aimed at addressing critical needs and fostering a sense of community and belonging among veterans.
