Dear Friends:
We have all seen the devastation caused by COVID-19. Job loss, school closures and food shortages are just a few effects of this time of crisis. Many families, veterans and seniors are being hard-hit by the effects of this virus and are struggling to keep their heads above water.
The purpose of NEVER LEAVE ONE BEHIND (NLOB) for over two decades has been the well-being of veterans and families in need in San Diego County. We are a non-profit 501(c)3 organization (EIN# 45-4436861). NLOB is fully staffed by unpaid volunteers, and we are dedicated and committed to providing veterans and their families with benefit education and advocacy, career training, employment re-entry counseling, mental health services, food, housing, and non-emergency medical transportation.
During the current pandemic, NLOB and FRIENDS OF THE POOR, a La Jolla based non-profit organization, have come together to support families, and struggling family-owned small business. Our goal is to provide funding for 1000 students to get haircuts provided by small shops and hand-made masks at no cost to the student. There are many additional costs associated with re-opening a small business. For many, the cost of re-opening is overwhelming. The aim of NEVER LEAVE ONE BEHIND & FRIENDS OF THE POOR is to support small business while assisting families in need.
Never Leave One Behind needs your help more than ever in these trying times. Hunger is a constant issue for families. Never Leave One Behind receives many calls each day from families and homebound senior veterans requesting food. Unfortunately, the Never Leave One Behind Food Pantry is now completely depleted. We need your help to restock the Pantry so that we can help meet this urgent need.
Veterans and families are struggling, and we desperately need your help. Please donate today by sending a generous tax-deductible contribution to Never Leave One Behind at P.O. BOX 152344 San Diego, CA 92195, or you can donate via PAYPAL by going to our website, www.neverleaveonebehind.org and clicking on the “DONATE” tab then clicking on the green “DONATE NOW” button or the yellow “Donate” button.
Thank you in advance for your generosity in contributing to making San Diego a better place for veterans, children, and families in need. Please call 619-255-4134 for more information.
Sincerely,
Larry Price, President & CEO
NEVER LEAVE ONE BEHIND
