This Memorial Day, help us deliver 2,500 Relief Kits veterans facing homelessness.

More than 30,000 veterans are living on America's streets — and as costs keep rising, that number is only growing. This Memorial Day, we can show up for the people who showed up for us.

For veterans experiencing homelessness with a pet, it's even harder. Pet-friendly shelters are scarce — so many veterans are forced to choose between a roof over their head and the companion who's been by their side through everything.

Each Relief Kit includes supplies such as:

• A pack to hold supplies and possessions.
• Toiletries including shampoo, soap, and toothbrush.
• A reusable water bottle.
• T-shirt, socks, and additional clean clothing.
• A blanket for warmth and comfort.

A pet can be a veteran's closest bond — sometimes their only one. But when you're homeless, keeping that bond means turning down shelter beds, stretching meals, and sleeping outside.

Each Pet Pack includes supplies such as:

• A functional pack to hold the supplies.
  
• A collapsible bowl to provide a clean place for the pet to eat or drink.
• A slip lead leash to ensure the pet remains safe with their veteran owner.
• A pet toy for a fun distraction. 
• Pet food and treats to provide the veteran's pet nourishment.

Give both a Relief Kit and a Pet Pack to make the biggest impact!

Our partner, Greater Good Charities, works to provide food and comfort items to veterans experiencing homelessness in areas with high veteran poverty populations. Through our relationship with the VA, these essential items will ensure local veterans have access to basic supplies and nutritious meals.

Just $50 can help provide a Relief Kit to a veteran and their pet experiencing homelessness. They fought for you; now you can fight for them by donating today.
