The Veterans Cafe/Meals on Wheels for Veterans event at American Legion Post 85 in Woonsocket, RI, brought the community together. In partnership with the Rhode Island Office of Veterans


Services, Meals on Wheels of Rhode Island (MOWRI) launched a FY25 Veterans Cafe site pilot to extend their dining service to Veterans and address social determinants of health such as food


access and isolation. Trisha Cote from the VA Providence Enrollment & Eligibility team was on site to assist with enrollments, and the Providence VA Regional Office helped Veterans with


claims. This collaboration highlighted the commitment to supporting Rhode Island Veterans through comprehensive services.
