“Under the Hood Café” (UtH) has been open since February 1, 2009 at 17 S. College Street in Killeen, Texas about one mile from Fort Hood, the largest military base in the U.S.

In the spirit of the “Oleo Strut”, UtH is a place for soldiers to gather, relax and speak freely about the wars and the military. Support services for soldiers include referrals for counseling, legal advice and information on GI rights. Since its doors opened, the staff and volunteers with UtH have supported a number of soldiers and veterans dealing with the devastating after effects of war.

The Fort Hood Support Network (FHSN) operates “Under the Hood Café” in Killeen, Texas. FHSN is a Texas non-profit corporation with 501(c)(3) tax-exempt. All proceeds benefit “Under the Hood Café”.

Join us and hear how “Under the Hood Café” is making a difference in the lives of these young men and women.
