Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Arts & Culture, Fishing & Hunting, Fund Raising & Fund Distribution, Mental Health, Mental Health & Crisis Intervention, Military & Veterans Organizations, Sports, Veterans
Mission: Our Mission is mostly to prevent the 22 Combat Veterans a day that commit suicide. We do this through all expense paid Hunting and Fishing Adventures for Combat Veterans to get them into the outdoors with a group of other Combat Veterans. They are able to talk about their similar situations and know that what they say is never repeated. They are able to learn that they are not alone in the mental fight they all share. Being in the outdoors most often calms their mind of the nightmares and allows them to heal mentally. Many return to their Families a more calm person, thus creating the domino effect. The Domino effect is where the Family can now be more calm and they can all heal together.
Results: Hunting with Soldiers was created in 2007. We average approximately 100 Veterans a year.
Target demographics: Combat Veterans overcome the effects of PTSD
Direct beneficiaries per year: 120 Combat Veterans.
Geographic areas served: Texas and Oklahoma
Programs: All expense paid outdoor adventures to help Combat Veterans heal through Mother Nature and the calming effects it has.
