Doggy Donations Needed for Wounded Vets

The Sacramento County Sheriff’s Dept. Central Division is collecting donations for our wounded combat troops.  These donations will go to The Pathway Home at Yountville, an independent, nonprofit organization that relies on donations from individuals for the care of service members who return from Iraq and Afghanistan with serious combat related injuries.    The Pathway Home recently adopted a Military Service Dog program.
Items needed:  laundry soap, shampoo, grooming items, nonperishable foods, healthy snack foods, unopened bottles of vitamins (glucosamine, vitamin C, vitamin B complex, fish oil, etc.), protein bars/powders, coffee, tea, note books, journals, sweats, socks, batteries (AAA, AA, C, D), tough dog toys (tug toys, fetch toys), healthy dog treats (NO dog food), or anything else you think a wounded warrior or their dog may enjoy.
Donated items will be accepted at the Central Division Station at 7000 65th Street, Sacramento, during normal business hours.  If you're unable to drop-off, you can call Crime Prevention Specialist Laura Grossman at 916-876-8322 to arrange for a special pick up.
You may also make cash donations directly through the official PATHWAY website at www.thepathwayhome.org.
