All breakfast sales support the Corporal Diffie Veterans Fund (a non-profit fund of the American Legion Milwaukie Post 180). The Corporal Diffie Veterans Fund was established in 2019 and provides sponsoring police agency patrol officers immediate access to funds to help veterans or their dependents with emergency assistance during times of crisis, or when experiencing the ‘GAP’ to services. The Corporal Diffie Veterans Fund provides assistance at the onset of the problem, addressing the crisis and closing the gap to services by providing food, clothing, temporary shelter assistance or other basic needs until veteran resources at the Federal, State or County level can respond, approve, and provide the long-term solutions the veteran has earned and qualifies for.
Currently the following sponsoring Clackamas County Agencies have Veterans Resource Officers partnered with CDVF:
Milwaukie Police Department MiPD
Oregon City Police Department OCPD
Molalla Police Department MPD
Lake Oswego Police Department LOPD
Canby Police Department CPD
