Support Veterans&11 Bravo Coffee Co
Donation protected
Help support veterans in our local community by helping 11 Bravo Coffee Company build their first brick and mortar location!
After working out of our truck for our first year of business and donating more than $5,000 to local VFW posts and veterans in need, 11BCC wants to open a permanent drive thru operation in O’Fallon so we can do even more to help support local veterans and not have to shut down in the winter! But in order to accomplish that we need the support of YOU - our community and our customers!

It’s been a challenging year for owners Vic and Erin being just the two of them and their new son Leo, but they have seen a lot of success in their first year and welcome the hard work of building the business.
11 Bravo is the military occupation for infantrymen, which is the backbone of the US Army. Erin may have designed the 11BCC logo, but after serving four tours in Iraq as an infantryman, Vic earned it. He believes 11 Bravo is the “heart and soul of the military.”

The #1 mission of 11BCC is to support combat veterans transitioning to civilian life. We want to continue to bring awareness to, as well as support to this often forgotten group of soldiers either through donation, comradery or just being there to talk.

At this point, in order to take this next step and keep the mission going of supporting veterans, 11BCC needs your help. The more coffee 11BCC can sell, the more we can do for veterans.
Opening a drive thru operation would allow 11BCC to have a permanent location and would not only make our high quality coffee accessible to customers on a more regular basis, but it would also allow us to officially make O’Fallon and our surrounding community our permanent home.
Plus a brick and mortar location will help us get through the winter when business is inoperable at the truck. This will also allow for the truck to be more mobile again and do more events during the rest of the year.

Over the past year, 11BCC has helped support local VFW posts, pay bills for veterans struggling with PTSD, build memorials and even provide free coffee for veterans when they can.
But we want to do MORE! As a four-time combat veteran, Vic wants to expand what 11BCC is doing to help even more local veterans like himself, including franchising opportunities or even hosting weeklong retreats to help soldiers cope with their transition back to civilian life.
Right now the goal is to get the drive thru up and running by the start of the winter so we won't have to shut down!
We plan on getting our hands dirty and building as much as we can on our own, but 11BCC would appreciate any help we can get! Whether it be through donation, materials to build, your time to help us build, or even just sharing this post! So help spread the word!
We want to continue to operate our business here in St. Charles County and become a mainstay of this community.
Thank you all for your support of 11BCC and our mission to provide our customers with the ultimate coffee experience while supporting our local veterans!
