Torch Beverages Partners with the Veterans of Foreign Wars to Support America’s Heroes

MIAMI, FL  10.7.25 — Torch Beverages LLC, a Miami-based leader in hemp-derived THC beverages, is proud to announce a new national agreement with the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) to advance programs serving veterans, active-duty service members, and their families.

This groundbreaking partnership will introduce select VFW-branded Torch Beverages, with proceeds directly supporting VFW initiatives including the National Veterans Service (NVS) program — which provides no-cost assistance to veterans navigating VA benefits — and Veterans & Military Support Programs, which deliver critical financial aid to service members and their loved ones.

A New Kind of Social Alternative

Torch Beverages offers a smoke-free, alcohol-free, plant-based experience, giving adults a modern way to unwind and socialize responsibly. Using a patent-pending nano-emulsification process, Torch infuses hemp-derived Delta-9 THC into refreshing, sessionable beverages that promote relaxation and balance — without the downsides of alcohol.

All Torch products are federally compliant, third-party lab tested by DEA-accredited facilities, and produced in cGMP-certified manufacturing environments. With over 3 million beverages sold safely nationwide, Torch has earned its reputation as the trusted name in compliant THC drinks.

Shared Mission and Responsible Innovation

“This partnership with the VFW is deeply meaningful to our team,” said Collin Kerrigan, co-founder of Torch Beverages. “We’re proud to provide a federally compliant, responsible alternative that gives veterans and civilians alike a new way to socialize. Our mission has always been to support those who serve this country — and this collaboration allows us to give back in a real and impactful way.”

Carol Whitmore, National Commander of the VFW, echoed the sentiment: “The VFW’s top priority is ensuring that veterans and their families receive the care, benefits, and support they have earned through service. Working with Torch helps us raise vital funds while also exploring innovative approaches to meeting the needs of today’s veterans’ community.”

Commitment to Compliance and Community

The agreement will only take effect in jurisdictions where hemp-derived beverages are permitted. Torch and the VFW will collaborate closely with legal advisors to ensure full regulatory compliance across all active markets.

Both organizations also recognize the importance of offering responsible, alcohol-free options for veterans seeking alternatives that align with a balanced, healthy lifestyle. Educational and responsible-use initiatives will accompany the launch to promote awareness and safety.

Availability

VFW-branded Torch Beverages will begin rolling out to select VFW Posts and regional events later this year, with additional markets to follow.
