We love to support local businesses so we make it our mission to get a bite to eat and/or get a drink with the other Veterans and volunteers who came out at a local eatery.
The San Diego River Park Foundation is dedicated to improving the health of the San Diego River and to creating a better quality of life for our community through the creation of a park system the length of the 52-mile river. Our programs, projects, and events are designed to connect people to our historic San Diego River and empower the community to steward and celebrate it.
Recycle For Veterans is a proud partner have been since 2021.
Our mission is to remove trash from our planet by empowering Veterans to clean our communities. We accomplish our mission by having Veteran operated teams organize cleanups throughout the U.S. In return, we are giving Veterans a chance to recycle their leadership skills and continue our service in a different and equally important way.
