Patriots and Paws

Provisions for Patriots provides basic home furnishings in a warehouse environment. This is the organization's largest program to date. Serving over 13,500 Veteran, Active Duty, Reservists throughout Southern California since our inception. Paws Partners is a program that has changed a bit due to a new law, allowing Veterans in California go to county shelters and adopt an animal at no cost. This is better than they having to come to the one shelter we worked with, the local shelters benefits, by having more animals adopted. We are currently working on creating a kennel that will allow Veterans to kennel their animals with us, while they care of their personal/medical needs. Some of those helped by the organization need a purpose and having an animal gives them that purpose. Patriots and Paws volunteers contributed over 137,00 volunteer hours since we have started. All donations go to offset operating expenses. The organization's largest expense is monthly rent, and the next largest is transpiration. The remainder of funds pays for payroll of 1 full time and 5 part time employees, insurance, utilities, and fuel and office supply costs. Donor generosity keeps our doors open and allows the organization to continue to serve those who served our country and give us the freedom we have today.
