A non-profit organization devoted to empowering homeless veterans and their service dogs by providing essential resources for a hopeful transition.
OUR SERVICES
Monthly Lunches
We are hosting monthly lunches for our homeless veterans. Join us in honoring and supporting those who have served our country.
Service Dog Support
Our services include support for Veterans service dogs, such as food, toys and beds. Professional Groomer for nails, anal gland extractions and ear cleaning.
Advocacy and Resources
We advocate for the needs of homeless veterans and provide them with essential resources to help them rebuild their lives.
Community Engagement
Join our community and get involved in various volunteer opportunities to support homeless veterans and their service dogs.
We visit the West Los Angeles Veterans Center off Wilshire Blvd on the last Sunday of every month for a "Lunch Date" with the veterans and their service dogs. We bring collected donations, including toiletries, clothing, books, and other items, which we distribute directly to the veterans. This gives us a chance to connect with each veteran who comes to our booth.
The service dogs receive donated food, toys, and treats, and they enjoy a "spa day" where they get their nails trimmed, ears cleaned, and other essential treatments, all accompanied by some tender loving care from a certified vet tech.
We encourage anyone who would like to volunteer on these days to join us. We not only set up a station but also drive through the facility to locate any veterans who cannot make it to us.
