    Our mandate and values address four key issues facing the Veterans Community: HUNGER, HOMELESSNESS, ISOLATION, and ultimately VETERAN SUICIDE.

    We welcome visitors to our Calgary and Edmonton offices during regular business hours. Veterans and their families are welcome to stop by for a coffee and meet with peers.

    Our Canadian Veterans rely heavily on animal companionship for service, emotional support, well-being, and sometimes just a best friend who provides unconditional love and is always there on those cold and lonely nights. We recognize the importance of these animals. Sadly, enough Veterans can barely support themselves let alone this needed friendship.

    Our Veterans are so thankful for all the support they receive every year, that they want to be able to show their appreciation and give back to the community that has given them so much. Each year in February they choose a pet charity that is dear to their hearts to raise donations for as their way of saying thank you.
