Our VISION
“I call MEDVETS a “boots on the ground ministry” - not because we’re going to come preach ‘at you’ - but because knowing that we’re going to show up is something people can put real faith in.”
— Big Jake
Vision statements aren’t really my thing - I prefer to do then envision…but seeing as that’s what you’re here for:
The ‘vision’ of MEDVETS, if you can call it that, was initially born from a need to protect myself from the laws of the time. Veterans kept seeking me out to find sources of good cannabis because I ran a collective & I didn’t want to get busted for “under the table” donations as I ran the collective to supply my family with medicine.
So I started playing with the idea of a non-profit, which became MEDVETS, but I had no idea how deep the rabbit-hole would go…and today it’s far more then I thought possible.
The MEDVETS vision today is a simple one: To help rebuild the lives of lost veterans, whilst also helping the communities and towns across California that are themselves struggling to find their way in the new post-pandemic economy.
We’re a Non-Profit organization that works with local For-Profit businesses, city & county leadership and even landowners to redevelop properties and veterans lives for the benefit of their local neighborhoods.
