Lend a hand to homeless veterans

SAN MARCOS — Fan of the Feather and SuperGreen Solutions Oceanside invite the community to a fundraiser reception to help local military veterans.

Fan of the Feather and SuperGreen Solutions will be holding a reception from 5 to 7 p.m. May 9 at 3562 Grand Ave., San Marcos, to benefit the veterans in San Marcos, homeless from PTSD from combat duties overseas.

The event directly benefits the veterans residing at The Promised Land, a half-way house for veterans with PTSD. The funds raised will help SuperGreen Solutions install a solar power system at the house. The goal is to make the home more energy efficient, keep its energy bills to a minimum, and reduce its carbon footprint. Attendees will be able to tour the home, meet some of the veterans and sample appetizer creations.  All proceeds go to benefit The Promised Land and the residents.

Fan of the Feather, Inc. is a non-profit 501(c)(3) new transitional center for homeless veterans. The Mission of Fan of the Feather is to provide a safe and caring environment for homeless veterans in San Diego County. Fan of the Feather is a 501(c)(3) organization which will accomplish this by providing a myriad of services including counseling and referral, substance abuse prevention, work skills development and veteran crisis intervention.
