Freedom Church Veteran Support
At Freedom Church in Canfield, we believe that "freedom isn't free"—and those who have worn the uniform deserve more than just our gratitude. They deserve a community that understands their journey, supports their transition, and honors their sacrifice.
To assist with this, we are launching a new series of events to help veterans understand the resources available to them and help put “local faces” to those resources.
These resources may not deal specifically with veterans but operate in areas of concern for veterans.
Any questions? Contact us a FCCanfield@befreemc.org

July 16, 2026: Veteran Lunch and Learn!
Veterans Helping Veterans.
Their mission is simple. In America, nobody should freeze to death. Youngstown Blue Coats bridge the gap between the shelters and homeless camps in the winter. They march out into the woods in late evening hours looking for homeless. They give them coats, hats, gloves, sleeping bags, boots, tents, tarps, and socks.
Youngstown Blue Coats look even harder for Veterans. They're usually found helping other people. They do this with no questions asked, no middle man, and they are all volunteers. Many people united with one goal.
They go to where the people are. They go to where the homeless call home. Youngstown Blue Coats make sure they stay warm. It's that simple.
Come spend time with others in the veteran community, hear how Youngstown Blue Coats serve the veteran community, and how you can get involved.
Registration & lunch is free.
