About A Stroke of Patriotism

A Stroke of Patriotism has assisted more than 30 veterans and their  families in many different ways.  This includes assistance with rent, utilities, vehicle repairs and payments, roofing, plumbing, home repairs, mortgage assistance and school supplies.  The needs are many and each application is thoroughly investigated to ensure that the veteran receiving assistance has been honorably discharged and is truly in need of assistance.  In all cases a personal interview is conducted and payments go directly to the holder of the debt or provider of the service.

A Stroke of Patriotism is an independent 501(c)3 Nonprofit organization. For more information on A Stroke of Patriotism, please visit our website or find us on Facebook.
