Give warmth this holiday season

You – yes, you! – can give the gift of warmth, compassion, and holiday cheer to Bay Area veterans this winter. For unhoused or aging veterans, the holidays can be a time of struggle and isolation, magnifying feelings of being forgotten or left behind. Let’s combat isolation and bring hope to veterans this holiday season.
