Pets for Vets - Tuesday, May 27

​This year’s Charity is Pets for Vets.  The Pets for Vets program is dedicated to providing a second chance for shelter pets by rescuing, training and pairing them with veteran servicemen and women who can benefit from a companion animal.  Medical studies have shown that companion animals significantly improve mental and physical health, including; reducing stress, depression, and anxiety. These are common symptoms experienced by many serving the military.  Every veteran who is capable of taking care of a pet is eligible.  Both the animals and the veterans have been through traumatic events in their lives and together they can help each other heal.  The goal is to raise over $5000 in support of this very unique non-profit organization through our Charity Raffle and with donations dropped off at the Pets for Vets display set up beside the registration area. 

Community Service Projects

​​1) Fisher House - Tuesday, May 27 - 1400-1630 

Joint Base Lewis-McChord, 9999 Wilson Ave, JBLM 98433

We had a huge response to volunteer and have to stop accepting new applications. Thank you all.

The first project will be hosted at the Fisher House located at Joint Base Lewis-McChord.  The objective is to have seven volunteers show our appreciation to our injured service members and to say thank-you by hosting a dinner for up to 11 guests.  We will prepare a hot meal and have it ready when the veteran and his/her family return from a full day of medical therapy and rehab at Madigan Army Hospital.  This is a wonderful opportunity for volunteers to make a direct impact on a veteran’s life as well as to interact/socialize with family members. 

​

2) VA Puget Sound, Seattle Hospital - Tuesday, May 27 - 1400-1600

1660 S. Columbian Way, Seattle 98108

We had a huge response to volunteer and have to stop accepting new applications. Thank you all.

​The second Community Service project will be hosted at the Seattle Veteran’s Administration Hospital located a top Beacon Hill, looking out over the beautiful Puget Sound.  The objective is to show our appreciation by serving those who have protected our freedom.  ASMC will be assisting in two areas.  We will be performing grounds beautification and participating in recreational activities.  Both of these activities are outstanding ways for us to assist our heroes during their stay with VA.  Our Veterans put everything on the line to protect our freedom. We may never be able to repay them for their sacrifice, but we can show them just how much we appreciate all that they’ve done.
