Overview

Mission

The Commandery mission is to provide support in the greater San Francisco Bay Area for service veterans injured in recent conflicts. This is achieved by raising funds, from our members' donations and from the public, for carefully selected local veterans programs. The selected programs are scrutinized and monitored to ensure effective benefits to the veterans and best use of funds. In many cases, our members also play an active role in the programs we choose to support. We are an all-volunteer membership organization, with no paid staff or Board.

What it reported doing in 2024

We aim to help veterans in their daily lives and improving quality of life, in gratitude for how they served and protected our country. We organize fundraising events to solicit donations to provide contributions to selected veteran causes in the San Francisco Bay Area. We also participate in Operation Christmas Comfort which provides holiday care packages consisting of food and personal items for active duty military personnel.
