Gold Star mother Myra Rintamaki organizes meals at the monthly meeting of Heroes' Cafe in Lynwood, WA

We're Glad You're Here.

Heroes' Cafe is a gathering of veterans, families, and volunteers focused on outreach, interaction, and welfare of the members of our veteran community, in direct partnership with the city of Lynnwood, Washington.

After nearly 8 years serving our community, we earned our 501c3 nonprofit designation in 2022 (making donations to us tax-deductible!) and look forward to providing for our members for many years to come.

Join us the 4th Tuesday of every month: no commitment required! Doors are opened at 9:00am, coffee and pastries are free. A free lunch is served at 11:00am, thanks to our amazing volunteers.

For donation purposes, our Taxpayer ID/EIN is 88-1311361.

“It was important for me to carry on what type of mission I thought would be of value to honor [my son's] legacy."

Heroes' Cafe in the News

"The basis for the Heroes' Cafe is recognition of the special bond that exists among those who have been in the military, and the need for a place where military veterans can talk openly and honestly about their service. The Cafe draws veterans of all ages, from those who served in Iraq and Afghanistan to those who fought in World War 2." Read more...
