Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Military & Veterans Organizations, Veterans
Target demographics: To honor, comfort and assist our PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) soldiers.
Geographic areas served: Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota and Michican
Programs: Our slogan is "A Day of Giving Back" and is the core of our mission. When our brave service men and women return from overseas, as a nation, we have been failing to show these heroes our appreciation. A shockingly high number of service members are returning with injuries and even the soldiers without physical wounds are having a hard time adjusting back into the "real world". These "Heroes" have given so much of themselves for our freedom. Reaching out and offering a "Thank You" with a hand shake, is the very least we can do. At Take a Vet Fishing, we take it a step further. Not only do we show these heroes our gratitude and shake their hand, we hand them a fishing rod and ease their minds back into civilization.
