Forgotten Soldiers Outreach
3550 23rd Ave S # 7, Lake Worth, FL 33461
Phone: (561) 369-2933
The purpose of Forgotten Soldiers Outreach is to send care packages and letters of encouragement to our deployed soldiers. Unfortunately, many military personnel who are fighting for our freedom go through many great struggles and get emotionally depressed. Being away from family, friends and loved ones can take its toll on a soldier, especially when the communication can be difficult and/or lessened during high war times. Even though the media coverage of the soldiers in Iraq is no longer at the intensity as it was earlier this year, we need not forget that our brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers, sons and daughters are still fighting in ALL world theaters! We need to let them know “they are not forgotten”.

Founded in 2006, Paws 4 Liberty (P4L) is one of only a few nonprofit organizations in Florida whose primary focus is serving post 9/11 veterans with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). The mission of Paws 4 Liberty is to help returning soldiers with disabilities regain their independence and confidence through the assistance of highly trained service dogs. With a primary focus on post 9/11 veterans with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Paws 4 Liberty raises, trains, and places highly skilled service dogs at no cost to the recipient. We also work with veterans who already have a dog and would like their dog to learn tasks that would help them with their PTSD symptoms. Qualified veteran/dog pairs work together learning tasks and service commands that will help the dog assist the veteran with stress symptoms.
