Manchester, NH – The Red Arrow Diner recently donated $10,000 to Operation Delta Dog, a non-profit organization that rescues and trains shelter dogs as psychiatric service companions for veterans throughout New Hampshire and Massachusetts experiencing Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), and Military Sexual Trauma (MST.
Funds were raised by Red Arrow Diner from October 1 to November 11, 2025, with their Breakfast for a Year raffle. Raffle tickets were $1.00 each, and if you purchased 30 tickets or more, you received a $10.00 coupon towards any future visit at Red Arrow Diner. One winner of free breakfast for two people each week was drawn on November 11, 2025.
“We are honored to give back to veterans in our community for their service and sacrifice,” said Amanda Wihby, Red Arrow Diner owner and chief operations officer. “Their dedication, courage, and commitment to the nation reaffirm the importance of supporting organizations like Operation Delta Dog, whose mission makes a profound difference in the lives of veterans every day.”
Operation Delta Dog does not receive state or federal funding and relies entirely on grants, private donors, businesses, and community partners to carry out its mission. Funds raised will directly support Operation Delta Dog’s Rescue to Serve program, which pairs veterans with tailor-matched service dogs and provides over a year of hands-on training.
This is Red Arrow Diner’s most successful fundraiser to date, raising more than $8,000 through raffle ticket sales. To further amplify the impact, the restaurant rounded the total up to a full $10,000.
