In 2008, KNMF aided 5,384 homeless and formerly homeless veterans, needy children in After School Literacy Programs, and families in shelters. Since 1991, KNMF has provided services to 87,617. KNMF successfully addressed the needs of LAs homeless veterans, formerly homeless veterans, and needy children in After School Literacy Programs through Veterans Resource Fair's "Stand Down and Job/Trade School/College/Homeless Service Providers Fair" and Personal Care Days for Formerly Homeless Veterans held throughout the year and by providing Back to School Shopping Sprees, school supplies, teaching materials, equipment, and props, toys, and other provisions for needy kids and After School Literacy Programs and institutions.

The Veterans Resource Fair's and Personal Care Days held downtown Los Angeles and in San Luis Obispo County provided the basic essentials for homeless and formerly homeless veterans in continuum of care programs, including new clothing, shoes, linens, sleeping bags, hygiene supplies, meals, etc., but also provided links with transitional housing facilities, medical, legal, non-profit and gov't homeless service providers, job training, and employers. The one-stop shop approach not only provided services and care items needed, but unified students K-University levels, corporate, government, and veteran volunteers from throughout the County to help solve one of LAs biggest problems--homelessness. KNMF believes that partnering is the key to its success--our Partners, are comprised of people who believe that positive change is necessary to solve problems and to improve our communities.

Thanks for contributing to these events throughout the year! Have a blessed 2009!

Sincerely - Nick and Doris
