In addition to serving free meals to those who have served, the Applebee’s family shows its gratitude toward our American heroes by offering veteran employment recruiting programs, sending essential items to active military service members overseas, delighting hometown heroes with recognition parties and Applebee’s gift cards, and partnering with organizations to repair or build homes for veterans in need.
