Congressman Lou Correa recently delivered 10 mini-desktop computer systems to the Patriots and Paws facility in Anaheim. Accompanied by staff members, he toured the facility, which assists veterans transitioning to civilian life.
Penny Lambright, founder of Patriots and Paws, explained the organization’s mission. The facility provides essential furniture items free of charge to veterans moving into new homes. Items available include beds, couches, kitchen appliances, and a variety of household goods. Veterans can select what they need, with only transportation costs incurred for delivery.
Patriots and Paws is located at 1825 E Via Burton, west of State College Blvd, near the 91 Freeway. The facility, marked by numerous flags and a World War II-era medevac helicopter, operates on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays from 10 am to 2:30 pm.
The donated computers will be refurbished by Heroes Deserve Help, a non-profit led by Nate Miller and Sergio Flores. Each year, they restore around 600 computers, providing veterans with access to Microsoft’s Office 365 School Edition. These systems support veterans’ educational pursuits at local institutions such as Coastline and Golden West colleges.
