1. The El Paso County Colorado Progressive Veterans is an IRS vetted and approved 501(c)4 nonprofit organization. We focus on the many ways that we can help our Veterans, Active Duty Military and their families. Our website has nearly 100 Veteran support groups listed, with hot links to the appropriate websites. These include everything from homeless solutions, FREE trained support dogs, FREE scuba diving lessons and even how to get FREE Colorado license plates. We have also included excellent information on how to apply for VA Healthcare and Disability Benefits.
2. We give a voice to El Paso County Colorado Veterans, Active Duty Military and their families. To do this effectively, we need to have our voice in Washington DC. For us to be heard, we need numbers ... in other words, a large number of members. There are NO dues or meetings. Membership is strictly confidential and our numbers are used only for communicating with Congress, their leadership and the VA. Click the Join Us button above to learn more about membership and the benefits that membership offers.
3. We don't stop there. We are raising money to increase our membership by running communication ads in various media. Veterans won't find us just by word of mouth. Additionally, we do have some operational expenses, such as this website. We have no paid staff or rent and Board members are not compensated. Please donate. Our Donate button has a hot link to make this easy. A 501(c)4 can NOT donate to candidates or political parties, but we do endorse candidates and political parties. Our current endorsements are located under the Congress button.
My wife, Cyn, had 2 large Childcare Centers up in the Denver area before she retired. Her focus was poor children, those who had incarcerated parents or simply had limited resources. She offered terrific preschool education and, of course, Fridays and Mondays were the big food days.
Why do I mention this? My wife took all of these kids (4 through 12) to a battered Women's shelter every year during the holidays. Each of her students made and left gifts for the children of the mother's who were there.
My point is that regardless of your situation, there is always someone who is in greater need. Find someone this holiday season and offer your hand. Love and kindness are the greatest gifts.
