Off-Road Outreach, a veteran-centered nonprofit dedicated to providing crucial resources to military veterans, is honored to announce its partnership with the 2025 Fayetteville Dogwood Festival's returning Cork & Fork event. The event will take place on Thursday, April 24, from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Volta Space inside Taste of West Africa, offering an evening of local flavors, artistry, and community support, with proceeds from a silent auction directly benefiting Off-Road Outreach.

Attendees of Cork & Fork will not only enjoy a fantastic evening of food, drinks, and entertainment but will also have the opportunity to directly contribute to Off-Road Outreach through the silent auction. Every bid will be benefitting Off-Road Outreach’s Veggies for Vets Greenhouse at Myrover Reese Fellowship Homes.

Off-Road Outreach is an organization making a difference in the lives of Veterans in the Fayetteville, NC area. Under their  mission “From Combat to Community, Answering the Call to Serve,” Off-Road Outreach provides three primary services:

  • Homeless Veterans outreach

Off-Road Outreach understands the challenges faced by homeless Veterans and aims to provide immediate assistance, including mobile showers, food, clothing, and access to essential services. The Veggies For Vets program strives to provide fresh, nutritious produce for Veterans and their families.

Off-Road Outreach is dedicated to serving those who have served our country.
