Deputy sheriff’s association makes donation for veterans
The San Luis Obispo County Deputy Sheriff’s Association recently announced making a $1,000 donation to Veterans Express. This volunteer organization provides transportation for local veterans to VA hospitals and clinics in San Luis Obispo, Santa Maria and even Los Angeles.
A part of the Ride-On transportation system, Veterans Express began in 2006 and provided services to 10-12 veterans a month. Today, they provide transportation to almost 200 veterans a month. Sheriff Ian Parkinson presented the check on Nov. 26 to Veteran’s Express coordinator Greg Shearer.
