DONATE
After many years of a greater vision of service bound by the constraints of maintaining buildings over 100 years old, mutual members of the Boone American Legion #56, Marine Corps League Detachment #100, and Veterans of Foreign Wars #817, banded together to create the Boone Area Veterans Center, Inc. (BAVC), a 501(c)(19) tax exempt organization.
Kruck Heating & Plumbing started the ball rolling by generously conveying property located at 807 6th Street, Boone, Iowa, to the BAVC in April of 2024. Through in-kind donations, monetary donations, grants and government programs, BAVC is 100% committed to seeing this project through with your help.
How will the NEW BAVC building benefit YOU?
-
VETERANS will find local Veterans Affairs Support via satellite clinics, meetings and events with Boone County Veterans Affairs Officer, Steve Cunningham and special guests.
-
VETERANS & FAMILIES will find shared camaraderie in membership through Veteran’s service groups and auxiliaries which will host events as separate entities under one roof. (This includes American Legion BINGO!)
-
OPEN TO THE PUBLIC! All patriots will enjoy the one level facility’s open flame grill, sports bar, patio, rentable meeting rooms, and large event space (weddings, conventions, etc.) with accommodating kitchen.
