Welcome to The AMEDD Effect Podcast where we discuss the cause and effects of Army Medicine Opportunities along with life inside the U.S. Army, which we call Army Lifestyle.

Today on Episode 2 of Army Lifestyle we have Amy Grimm from the Warrior Warehouse located here at Fort Knox, KY. The Warrior Warehouse is an opportunity for financially challenged, active duty rank E6 and below to shop at no coast for needed items, clothing, miscellaneous household items, furniture, baby items, toys, and other necessities.

Started in 2015 by Amy Grimm the Warrior Warehouse was something Mrs. Grimm was missing while stationed at Fort Knox. The idea was sparked by Amy when she found herself in a situation where she needed things during the time her and her husband were PSCing to a new installation. Seeing how Lending Closets worked on other installations Amy would create her version and today that is the Warrior Warehouse.

With the help of various programs such as DAV, Active Heroes, Boots Across America, and Soldiers PCSing, Amy has been able to keep the Warrior Warehouse stocked with every item a family could use in every day life. The mission on the Warrior Warehouse id emergency needs first and then free shop for Service Members, E6 and below, the last Thursday of every month. Pre shop for E-7 and above (with donation item), the last friday of each month is open to all Veterans, Retirees, Dependants, DOD, NAF or Contract employees for cash donation, only.
