Troop Café

Created in 2013 by the Center for Veterans Issues, a Milwaukee nonprofit that provides transitional housing and a range of supportive services to U.S. veterans, Troop Café serves affordable, healthy breakfasts and lunches to the general public while providing food service and hospitality training to Center clients. The Café is located in Veterans Manor, a $12 million, 52-unit apartment building for low-income veterans also run by the Center. All Café profits are funneled back into its job training program.
