Nonprofit organization supports U.S. service members, families, and families of the fallen.


Bob Porteous (L) and Barry Porteous (R) present a check for $18,500 to Hope For The Warriors executive vice president Tina Atherall which Porteous garnered from a Veterans' Day sales drive to benefit the charity. 

Porteous Fastener Company presented a donation check to Tina Atherall, Hope For The Warriors Executive Vice President today. Hope For The Warriors is a national nonprofit organization that supports U.S. service members, their families, and the families of the fallen.

"We are proud to be living in this great country and for our freedom, which others sacrifice to provide", Bob Porteous said. "We thank everyone for supporting us, so that we can help support our troops and their families with this donation!"

Tina Atherall added, "We are proud that Porteous Fastener Company dedicated their efforts on Veterans Day to raising funds and awareness to the needs and challenges of today's military family. Hope For The Warriors understands that by accepting this donation, we have a responsibility to both the company and their customers to continue our hard work for those that have served and sacrificed."
