We’re proud to support our veterans! We recently donated $5,000 to Veteran’s Last Patrol, a nonprofit dedicated to ensuring that veterans facing their final battle - hospice care - never face it alone.

The brave men and women who patrolled for our freedom deserve our support in every stage of life, and it’s an honor to partner with to help make that possible.

A big thanks to Claude Schmid, Callie Guicherd, Tom Brinegar, and Sergio A. Montes for making this donation possible!
