GFWC Mira Mesa Women’s Club is raising $18,000 to sponsor a psychiatric service dog through Shelter to Soldier, a San Diego nonprofit that rescues shelter dogs and trains them to support veterans with PTSD, Traumatic Brain Injury, or Military Sexual Trauma.

This cause is personal — many of our members have loved ones who served, including one of our members, who is a retired military officer. Supporting veterans has always been very important to us.

Shelter to Soldier’s motto says it all: “Saving Lives, Two at a Time.” Your gift rescues a shelter dog, trains it, and provides a veteran with a life-changing companion. 💙🐾

Since 1974, our all-volunteer nonprofit has been making a difference. Here’s a glimpse of a few of our other projects:

Wreaths Across America – raise funds for wreaths and lay them at Miramar National Cemetery annually
Comfort Pillows – Sew small pillows to ease pain for women undergoing breast cancer treatment, and send locally and nationwide.
Gently Hugged – Provide baby clothes and quilts for their first year for babies in need.
Little Free Library – Created the first one in a San Diego city park, giving everyone access to books.
Door of Hope – Support women transitioning out of homelessness or trafficking and their children. Last year we helped adopted 27 families and provided them with holiday gifts.
Adopt a School – Supplied a local low-income school with hundreds of books, a specialized reading program, schools supplies, playground equipment, and more.

Your support changes lives — for both a veteran and a shelter dog.
