<strong>Disabled</strong> <strong>Veterans</strong> <strong>Charities</strong> <strong>Launches</strong> <strong>New</strong> <strong>Website</strong> <strong>to</strong> <strong>Drive</strong> <strong>Support</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>Homeless</strong><br />

<strong>Vets</strong><br />

1888 PressRelease - Redesigned website aims <strong>to</strong> increase funding <strong>for</strong> homeless and other at-risk veterans<br />

and their dependents in Southern Cali<strong>for</strong>nia.<br />

REDLANDS, Calif. ─ With approximately a quarter of the nation’s homeless veterans located in Cali<strong>for</strong>nia, a<br />

higher percentage than in any other state, <strong>Disabled</strong> <strong>Veterans</strong> <strong>Charities</strong> recently redesigned its website <strong>to</strong><br />

increase funding <strong>for</strong> these and other at-risk veterans and their dependents.<br />

Going beyond the organization’s original thrift s<strong>to</strong>re donation options, the new site offers simplified giving<br />

selections, making it easier than ever <strong>to</strong> fund Southern Cali<strong>for</strong>nia programs that provide the resources and<br />

support veterans need <strong>to</strong> face the challenges of homelessness and improve their lives. Among the available<br />

choices <strong>for</strong> making a tax-deductible donation <strong>to</strong> <strong>Disabled</strong> <strong>Veterans</strong> <strong>Charities</strong>, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit<br />

organization, are:<br />

• Cash donations through PayPay<br />

• AmazonSmile purchases, which result in a .5% donation<br />

• Clothing and household item donations at the organization’s thrift s<strong>to</strong>res<br />

• Car donations<br />

From donations via these channels, <strong>Disabled</strong> <strong>Veterans</strong> <strong>Charities</strong> awards grants <strong>to</strong> deserving area programs <strong>to</strong><br />

fulfill its mission: <strong>to</strong> assist disabled and needy veterans, their widows and dependents, with an emphasis on<br />

eliminating homelessness. The programs <strong>Disabled</strong> <strong>Veterans</strong> <strong>Charities</strong> funds include those that provide<br />

transitional and permanent housing; mental health services <strong>for</strong> PTSD, depression and anxiety; employment<br />

and career support; and assistance <strong>for</strong> at-risk, low-income survivors.<br />

“So many veterans in our area are struggling with adjustment issues, economic hardship, physical injuries or<br />

mental health challenges that put them at risk of homelessness,” said Jo Anne Rodriguez, General Manager.<br />

“Our aim is <strong>to</strong> provide funding that will give these veterans and their families access <strong>to</strong> the services they need<br />

so no one falls through the<br />

cracks.”<br />
