This July 4th, stand by those who served.
They served so we could celebrate. But this Independence Day, more than 32,000 veterans are experiencing homelessness—without basic supplies, and often without the only companion keeping them going: their pet. Because most shelters don't allow animals, veterans are forced to make an unthinkable choice—leave their pet behind or stay on the streets together.
Emergency packs offer a lifeline, providing essentials like clothing items, toiletries, a water bottle, and pet supplies—helping veterans and their companions stay safe and together.
