Woodstock restaurant raises money for homeless veterans
Woodstock s Semper Fi Bar and Grille doesn t just serve the community through good food and atmosphere.
WOODSTOCK, Ga. - The sign out front reads Public Welcome. But inside Woodstock’s Semper Fi Bar and Grille, it’s clear who the real VIPs are: veterans.
Honoring service members is personal for owners Ralph and Carrie Roeger, both of whom served in the United States Marine Corps. And for the fourth year in a row, the veterans recently organized a special fundraiser for the Cherokee County Homeless Veterans Program, resulting in a $6,000 donation to the nonprofit.

In late January, the HUD National Homeless Point in Time (PIT) Count across the state of Georgia was scheduled to begin. The PIT Count’s mission is to identify the sheltered and unsheltered homeless living across the state, including veterans.
But because of the coronavirus pandemic, Georgia’s Department of Community Affairs, which runs the homeless count, canceled this year’s PIT Count. That meant a count that hadn’t been done since 2019 may not be done again until possibly 2023.
That wasn’t going to be soon enough for Georgia Legionnaire Jim Lindenmayer, a service officer at Thomas M. Brady Post 45 in Canton and the director of the Cherokee County Homeless Veterans Program (CCHVP).
