Program accomplishments
- Provisions for Patriots provides basic home furnishings in a warehouse environment. This is the organizations largest program to date. Serving over 19,536 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, SB245 (CA) allowing Veterans in California go to county shelters and adopt an animal at no cost local shelters benefits, by having more animals adopted. Because of us in 2025 NV voted in SB 325 Pets for Heros Act, which went into effect October 1, 2025. 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 158,990 volunteer hours since we have started. All donations go to offset operating expenses. The organizations largest expense is monthly rent, and the next largest is transpiration. The remainder of funds pays for payroll of 2 full time and 6 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.Expenses $4,499,527
