Our Mission

What We Believe In

Morale is crucial role in the overall well-being of individuals and groups. High morale fosters a positive environment that encourages teamwork, productivity, and resilience, while also reducing stress and stress related injuries. When individuals feel valued and supported, they are more likely to engage fully in their tasks and contribute to a shared mission. This is particularly significant for veterans and their families, as improving morale can lead to enhanced mental health, stronger relationships, and a greater sense of purpose. By prioritizing morale, organizations can create a culture that uplifts its members, benefiting both individual participants and the community as a whole.

About Us

We are an incredibly dedicated group, deeply passionate about boosting and elevating the morale of veterans and their families. Many of our teammates, who are veterans themselves, understand profoundly how vital high morale is within their communities and recognize the significant impact it can wield on overall well-being. Our mission is to support veterans and their families in a variety of meaningful and impactful ways.

Our dedicated team volunteers a significant portion of their free time to support this important cause. Sometimes, this entails spending an entire day in front of the computer, diligently researching and reaching out to others who share our mission. Often, however, it involves being physically present and actively engaged with veterans and their families. For our organization, fostering and building morale is not just an occasional goal; it is a daily aspiration. We firmly believe that morale should be an integral part of our everyday lives, rather than something we only focus on during challenging times. To effectively cultivate this sense of morale daily requires us to be creative and resourceful, along with maintaining a strong and well-functioning network of support.

Paratus Industries Inc. employs various strategies for fundraising efforts. It all began with the establishment of an off-duty apparel brand tailored specifically for individual military units, which gained tremendous traction. Encouraged by this success, we expanded our efforts by collaborating with community fundraisers such as FUNDrive. This volunteer work serves not only to support our local communities but also to uplift and assist our veterans in meaningful ways. We take immense pride in being able to collaborate with this organization to further our collective mission. Additionally, we have developed an apparel line of our own, allowing supporters to wear our brand while contributing to our cause. By purchasing Paratus Industries Inc. gear, you are helping us spread positivity and bring sunshine into the lives of those who have served.

Moreover, we have been approached with generous offers to make donations from individuals who have witnessed our work and wish to join our cause. In response, we have recently introduced a donation option on our website, making it easier for supporters to contribute. Every member of our team at Paratus Industries Inc. is genuinely thankful for all your support, whether it comes in the form of a donation of your time, financial contributions, or simply through the purchase of our gear. Each act of support plays a vital role in helping us achieve our mission.
