This GivingTuesday, help provide food and essential comfort supplies to veterans and their pets experiencing homelessness. They fought for us, let’s fight for them.

This winter, many veterans will be left out in the cold. Nearly 35,000 veterans experiencing homelessness and their beloved pets lack essential supplies for warmth and comfort. A shortage of pet-friendly shelters means individuals dedicated to remaining with their beloved pets are often forced to choose between seeking shelter or staying with their animal companions.

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.

Each Good Pack 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.

For veterans caring for a beloved animal companion, these pets provide emotional support and comfort, yet the responsibility can bring an added stress to a homeless veteran’s life.

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.

This GivingTuesday, help Greater Good Charities deliver Good Packs loaded with goodies for unhoused veterans and their pets in time for the holidays. Just $25 can help provide a Good Pack to a veteran and their pet experiencing homelessness. They fought for you; now you can fight for them by donating today.

Greater Good Charities has ultimate authority and discretion with regard to the distribution of its funds. All expenditures made are consistent with the exempt purposes of Greater Good Charities.
