Dear Friends,

As the holiday season is upon us we want to show you our journey and how your support has allowed us to grow to who we are today and where we are going tomorrow.

14 years ago, when my nephew reached out, sharing that his unit needed help, little did I know how profoundly that moment would change my life—and so many others.  

From a simple conversation, Patriots and Paws was born.  I could never have imagined the impact we would have, the thousands of lives touched, and how far we would come.  Thanks to you, we are now a lifeline to so many Veterans, active duty, and reservists.

Your support allows us to grow even more. This year we have added to our mobile warehouses, 29 Palms, which joins Fort Irwin and Camp Pendleton.

Here is a video of one of mobile warehouse at Camp Pendleton. https://youtu.be/8UygtqKtLUA?si=FAnZyEkvkEUWxY9f

Already this year we have served 2,833 Veterans, Active Duty and Reservists up from 2402 last year.  We have done 1,453 donation pickups. Through our volunteers, we have put in 1,088.25 volunteer hours.

The overall value of what we have given away is over $15.5 million. We now have 2 full time employees and 6 part-time employees.

Because of your continued support, we’re able to keep our promise: giving Veterans, active duty, and reservists the choice and dignity in creating a home for themselves.  

Your donations provide hope, community, and the message that their sacrifices have not been forgotten.

We invite you to join us at our events and join us on our social media, so you can stay updated on what we are doing. Make sure you share with our friends and family.

Supporting Patriots and Paws gives our Veterans, Active Duty and Reservists an opportunity to know that the community they live in supports and care about them. That they matter and their sacrifice mattered.

They made the commitment to serve our country and protect our freedom. We appreciate your support knowing that it allows us to serve on your behalf our Veterans and military community.

 As we look to the future, we ask you to continue trusting in us, just as you have in the past. Together, we can continue to serve those who have given so much for our freedom.

From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank you for being part of this journey.  Your support has changed lives, and I’m truly grateful. 

Here is a link to our 1st Annual Report,  this link will get you to it, with a friendly flipbook. https://simplebooklet.com/patriotsandpawsimpactreport#page=1

Soon we look forward to sharing with you all what we have done this year in our 2^nd Annual Report.  Keep an out for it.

As we approach the end of the year, please consider Patriots and Paws in your end of the year giving.

In service to others,

Penny
