Everett McClay VFW

Why Everett McClay VFW?

This VFW is the home base for Loren Swenson, our Bloody Mary creator, and my Dad, who is a Vietnam Veteran that served as the VFW Commander from 2018-2023 (retired to travel).

He has been serving up our delicious bloody mary's here for several years and has had many people request to buy it outside of the bar, so here we are!

We go more in to depth on this on our Our Story page.

Chartered in 1932, Everett McClay has been an active participant in the local community ever since. Today, this VFW houses some of the best local and national bands for entertainment and brings friends together for various events and promotions. A full bar and food staff make for the best crew a VFW could ask for.

VETERAN

Paws of War

Since 2014, this organization has brought more than 600 dogs and cats, rescued by our troops serving overseas to safety in the U.S. They have provided 100's of veterans with service and support dogs rescued from kill shelters. Sometimes what a veteran needs is a simple, loving companion to walk them through their everyday life. Change a life for the better, help us prevent veteran homelessness and suicide. A furry companion could be just the answer you're looking for!

VETERAN

Walk for Vets

The Walk for Veterans is a powerful demonstration of solidarity and support for those who have selflessly served their country. It brings together individuals from all walks of life, united by a common purpose: honoring and aiding veterans. Their mission is walking and raising awareness to the plight of veterans, including Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), Military Sexual Trauma (MST), addiction, homelessness, benefits, and the epidemic of suicide among service members and our veterans.

VETERAN

Warriors2US

Since 2018, Warrior2US has provided a recreational working camp for those who need occasional camaraderie which helps to minimize stress and environmental conflict issues. Warriors2US is a place to find either an adrenaline rush and/or a place of peace in a non-clinical therapeutic environment at no initial cost to American Warrior guests such as active-duty service members, honorable/medically discharged veterans, law enforcement officers, and firefighters.

VETERANS OF

Foreign Wars

The Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States is a nonprofit veterans service organization comprised of eligible veterans and military service members from the active, guard, and reserve forces.
