"Sometimes sisterhood isn't about who you've known the longest. It's about who shows up beside you when the trail gets hard and refuses to let you quit." ~ Rosy Macias, RIF Ambassador & USMC Veteran This Women's Veterans Day, we celebrate the women who have served our nation and the bonds they continue to build long after their military service ends. At this year's Cateran Yomp, women veterans from across the United States came together to challenge themselves, support one another, and prove that no one has to walk the journey alone. Thank you to all the women veterans who continue to lead, inspire, and lift others up every day. #WomensVeteransDay #WomenVeterans #Veterans #MilitaryCommunity #CateranYomp #RobertIrvineFoundation

Reducing veteran suicide takes more than awareness. It takes access. That's why we redesigned our website, making it easier to explore resources, engage with the coalition, and find ways to get involved. Explore what's new: wefacethefight.org/

"It’s a lot of pain, but a lot of fun at the same time." More than 100 participants. 54 miles. 24 hours. This year's Cateran Yomp brought veterans together for an unforgettable challenge through the Scottish Highlands. Every step tested endurance. Every mile strengthened connection. Thank you to everyone who trekked, volunteered, supported, and helped make this incredible weekend possible. @RobertIrvine @ArmyBenFund #CateranYomp #FuelingTheForce #Veterans #MilitaryCommunity

Behind every uniform is a human being who needs nourishment, connection, and support. America depends on the strength of its service members, veterans, and military families not only in moments of crisis, but every single day. They carry the mission. They absorb the cost. They continue showing up even when the weight is heavy. At the Robert Irvine Foundation, we believe caring for our military community means caring for the whole individual through food that nourishes, movement that rebuilds strength, and community that restores connection. Across the country, we see the impact of simple moments like these: a lunch break at one of our Let’s Chow Food Trucks, a meal prepared by a veteran chef, and the opportunity to connect with fellow service members who understand the journey. Because sometimes support starts with something as simple as a meal and someone willing to listen.

Veterans are not statistics – they are parents, siblings, children, friends, teammates, caregivers, and community leaders, but the reality is that 7% of veterans will experience PTSD at some point in their lives. Everyone experiences PTSD differently. Sometimes, PTSD symptoms can start months or even years after the event. Or symptoms can come and go over a period of several years. June marks PTSD Awareness Month, a time to help let others know that effective treatments do exist. If you or a friend or loved one is dealing with any of the following, please know that help is available: - Experiencing unwanted memories or nightmares - Avoiding things that remind you of the event - Having negative thoughts and feelings - Feeling on edge For more information and resources on #PTSD visit: ptsd.va.gov/apps/aboutface/w…

Always a great time having the foundation and @RobertIrvine host events during Tampa Bay Wine & Food Festival. Great food and a fun time for our veterans and first responders. Thanks for the ongoing support of our heroes. tampamagazines.com/tampa-bay…

Only a few days to go until we gather for the Cateran Yomp for another incredible weekend of trekking, fundraising and, of course, great food. Ask any returning Yomper and they’ll tell you the food on route is always a highlight. And with Chef Robert Irvine stepping in as Executive Chef this year, it’s set to be even better. Exciting new additions will help keep everyone fuelled along the way, including Rigatoni Bolognese...and that’s just the beginning. We’re delighted to welcome @RobertIrvine and the @rirvinefound back to Blairgowrie for our annual 54-mile challenge in support of soldiers, veterans and their families. If you spot them on the course, be sure to say hello! Ready to #GetYourYompOn? #ForSoldiersForLife #CateranYomp

In just one week, more than 100 veterans will travel to Scotland together to take on the Cateran YOMP alongside military allies from around the world with the Army Benevolent Fund @ArmyBenFund For months, this group has trained, prepared, and connected from afar, sharing stories, goals, challenges, and encouragement before all meeting in person. Next week, they will board an @AmericanAir flight together for the first time. Veterans from every branch of the U.S. military will take on 54 miles through the Scottish Highlands, pushing through difficult terrain alongside people who understand the physical and mental challenges that can follow military service. For many, this experience becomes more than an endurance event. It becomes connection, accountability, camaraderie, and a renewed sense of purpose. Because sometimes healing begins by walking beside people who understand your journey. Learn more about the Cateran YOMP: robertirvinefoundation.org/p…

"Tonight is about camaraderie, dancing, and laughing with my fellow veterans.” That spirit filled the room during the Havana Nights themed Breaking Bread with Heroes gathering at American Legion Post 200 in Lake Elsinore, California. Chef Juan Ramirez of El Jefe Latin Kitchen, part of the Robert Irvine Foundation Let’s Chow Food Truck Program, prepared a Cuban-inspired meal as veterans and military families came together for an evening focused on connection, shared experiences, and community. One guest described the evening as bringing “class, culture, and dignity” to the veteran experience. Meaningful support is not always complicated. Sometimes it starts by simply creating spaces where people can come together and feel connected again. #BreakingBreadWithHeroes

It's taken years to get attention, headlines, and most importantly: real change in how we take care of our service members @RobertIrvine Robert Irvine’s 23-Year Fight to Fix Military Food Is Finally Paying Off military.com/robert-irvines-…

“Her husband is gone. But she is not alone.” This Memorial Day, we honor the men and women who never made it home, the veterans who carry their memory forward, and the families whose lives were changed forever by that sacrifice. Last year, one of our Gold Star widows participated in a wreath laying ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery on behalf of the 1st Battalion, 5th Marines. She shared, “I've always felt really close to everyone here from his unit. They always keep in touch, they support me in my life, and make sure I am taken care of. We are family forever.” That enduring sense of connection is what today is truly about. At the Robert Irvine Foundation, programs like Reuniting the Brave help veterans and Gold Star families reconnect with the people and communities who continue to walk beside them long after the uniform comes off. Because no family should carry loss alone. #MemorialDay

I've spent years showing up for this community. Not because someone asked me to, but because I've seen what happens when no one does. I’ve looked service members and veterans in the eye and witnessed the real cost of isolation and silence. That’s something that stays with you. So, when @WeFaceTheFight asked me to be part of this conversation, there was no hesitation. I joined JoAnne Bass and @PatrickMurphyPA for a real talk hosted by Anthony Shop of @ChiefInfluencer. These conversations aren't about scripts or polish, they're about what it takes to reach veterans before crisis hits. They're about meeting people where they are, using your platform when it matters, and recognizing that waiting isn’t a strategy. Listen to it. Then tag a leader below who needs to hear it. If you're reading this, you probably know someone who does. -- @RobertIrvine Watch now: youtube.com/watch?si=Ih-OjvG…

Did you know that David Reid, The Robert Irvine Foundation's VP of Strategic Initiatives, and @RobertIrvine first met on the Cateran Yomp? This year The Robert Irvine Foundation will be sponsoring 100 veterans to participate with us. Watch now to hear all about the experience from Robert & David.@NewsNation @Yahoo newsnationnow.com/us-news/mi…

Healthy habits often start at home and around the table. Recently, Chef Dan Lee from Farina Pasta, one of our Let’s Chow food trucks, joined members of our Programs team and RIF volunteer Melissa Benjamin to spend the afternoon with a military family, helping their kids prepare nutritious snacks and meals together through hands-on cooking and connection in the kitchen at Vetri Community Partnership in Philadelphia. @vetricommunity While Let’s Chow is often recognized for serving meals in communities across the country, moments like these show how our programs can work together in meaningful ways. This pilot experience reflects our commitment to strengthening military families through nutrition, connection, and shared experiences that support long-term wellness before challenges become crisis. Because food is more than fuel. It has the power to bring people together.
