What We Do - Organizations We Support
We raise funds to support injured veterans' rehabilitation programs in the Bay Area. The organizations we support focus on mental as well as physical wellness, and supportive housing. Each of these valuable programs teaches a new skill, gets veterans outdoors and motivated, builds on teamwork and ensures their affordable housing, once secured, is maintained.
Project Healing Waters teaches veterans to fly fish in Martinez and at the Golden Gate casting ponds and clubhouse. Experienced anglers then escort them on weekend outings to fish Northern California rivers and lakes.
Wooden Boats for Veterans uses wooden boat renovation and sailing as pathways for restoring health and well-being to veterans and their families. Learning to sail and saving wooden boats are outlets for coping with PTSD, and traumatic injuries.
Homeward Bound of Marin is building an affordable housing complex for veterans in Novato that will include on-site supportive services from the VA. The housing complex is currently under development, and broke ground in January 2023.
