The program is held on the last Saturday of each month at the Summerland Legion, 14205 Rosedale Ave., from 9 to 11 a.m.
John Lawrie, first vice-president of the Summerland Legion, said the program gives veterans an opportunity to share their experiences and stories. Veterans, their families and caregivers are invited to attend, and there is no requirement to be a member of the Legion.
In addition to providing support to veterans, Lawrie said the program also helps connect veterans with the services and assistance available to them.
The legion also offers programs and support for mental health, homelessness, financial assistance, transitioning to civilian life and more.
The next Buddy Check Coffee event will be at the legion branch on Saturday, June 24 from 9 to 11 a.m.
