WE GO OUT AND HELP VETERANS IN NEED OF ASSISTANCE. NO ONE COMES TO US. WE HAVE BEEN DOING OUR VOLUNTEER DELIVERIES SINCE 2014 AND ENJOY OUR MISSION... WE ARE ALWAYS IN NEED OF FOOD & CLOTHING!
It has been said that laughter is the best form of medicine and that mantra was put to the test and passed with flying colors at the first annual U.S. Veterans Choice Comedy Awards, which were held at the Hollywood American Legion Post 43. (Story continued click on picture or headline.)
We could use non-perishable items, clothing, hygiene items and other goodies for our “Veterans Assistance Care Packages.” We are a 501 c3 non-profit organization dedicated to veteran causes. We accept vehicle, RV or boat donations running or not and you will get your tax-deductible receipt for your kind donation. Our mission is only successful with your help, the more we get the more we deliver. We measure our work by the tons of food and clothing delivered.
Assistance for Veterans(A.F.V.) San Diego has enjoyed local support for many years now. A.F.V. again had the support of Santee Lakes as well as National City’s Sweetwater Harley-Davidson on Veterans Day with a Veterans’ Day food drive at each location.
DELIVERIES - THE MORE ASSISTANCE WE GET FROM MANY GREAT PEOPLE THE MORE WE CAN DELIVER - LETS SET UP A CLOTHES AND FOOD DRIVE TOGETHER AND HELP MANY HUNGRY VETERANS IN YOUR COMMUNITY FOR THE HOLIDAY SEASON, WE COULD USE WARM JACKETS TO DELIVER!
We enjoyed this years Stand Down at the Los Angeles Convention Center where we had a table set up to assist veterans who could use a helping hand. We had fliers for free furniture from Patriots & Paws and promoted our program. We handed out about 150 American flag lapel pins and a bunch of other cool stuff that we were able to give away. We also took a bunch of care packages full of non-perishable items with the assistance from The Sunshine Club of Wilmington, California who also assisted us a couple of weeks back, we were able to take a bunch of care packages for homeless veterans who come to The Pier Center in Long Beach for assistance.

THANKING OUR FRIENDS AT HARLEY-DAVIDSON
FOR THEIR ASSISTANCE
It has been a fun month for non-perishable donations and we wanted to thank our friends and partners in this mission. These dealerships have stepped up bigtime to support our efforts; special thanks to Bartlel’s Harley-Davidson of Marina Del Rey; Los Angeles Harley-Davidson of Anaheim; Huntington Beach Harley-Davidson of Westminster and California Harley-Davidson. These dealerships have partnered with us to help collect non-perishable items in our Assistance For Veterans collection containers and they have done an amazing job!

Time sure flies when you are having fun. It is now June and summer is here and we can’t believe it has been almost a year since we began our program last August. It has been a pleasure meeting hundreds of great people across our giant city that we call home. We always make sure to have no boundaries in our mission and one day we hope to be delivering food every single day to our homeless and in-need veterans across the United States.

HELP A VETERAN TODAY BY DONATING NON-PERISHABLE ITEMS
During this holiday season, we will be looking to help our veterans in need of a warm place to sleep and a good meal, and ready to assist them off the streets if they are ready to make that commitment. We were able to deliver turkeys this past Friday with our Veterans Food Assistance Packs that we deliver weekly, which made for an enjoyable day. (Story continued click on picture or headline.)
LOS ANGELES HOMELESS CAPITOL OF AMERICA MANY OF THOSE HOMELESS ARE MILITARY VETERANS
It was a nice warm Wednesday, morning, when 1,500 motorcycles and support vehicles rolled out of a parking lot in Rancho Cucamonga, California for a 10 day trip to Washington DC. Their journey is not a fun one but one to bring attention to the tragedy of war and our MIA/POW veterans.
From the shirt I am proudly wearing it states “Freedom Is Not Free” and that is important for everyone to remember. Lets say a prayer for these brave veterans on this ride/journey to Washington DC. For many men and women this is a yearly event they do proudly.
View video below of first group that left, this is the most organized event I have ever attended and probably the most challenging for those behind the scenes who make this Run For The Wall a success, going on 26 years now. Just a great group of people we can all support by donating or buying something at their website. (View More Pictures Click Here)
