Food, Drinks and helping Hounds4Heroes!

The bar and restaurant The Wooden Vine located at 231 North Tryon, right across the street from B of A, is giving Hounds4Heroes a donation based upon the business they get into their establishment this weekend, March 4^th through the 6^th. The people who own the place are good people, and want to give something back to the community. They have chosen Hounds4Heroes because they are dog lovers and support our troops.

Many military veterans suffer emotional ailments as a result of their service. From post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and traumatic brain injury to anxiety, flashbacks and stress, the invisible wounds on our service members are deep.

Hounds4Heroes (H4H) is a non-profit organization that seeks to alleviate the psychological suffering of our Nation's heroes by providing companion animals free of charge. They strive to match our veterans with animals from local shelters and foster homes that might otherwise face euthanasia without permanent forever homes. Founded in 2010 in Charlotte, H4H facilitates the adoption of homeless animals with veterans from all branches of service.  They provide a companion animal, trained in basic commands free of charge as our way of saying, “Thank you for your service.”

Their founder will be there Friday for happy hour at 430pm to kick off this event. They have completed 26 adoptions in the last year and have their 27^th scheduled for this weekend. Funds are urgently needed to keep their programs going.

Spread the word! The more the merrier!
