Project Healing Waters Fly Fishing, Inc.
Project Healing Waters Fly Fishing, Inc. (PHWFF) began in 2005 serving wounded military service members at Walter Reed Army Medical Center returning from combat in Iraq and Afghanistan. Since then, PHWFF has expanded nationwide, establishing its highly successful program in Department of Defense hospitals, Warrior Transition Units, and Veterans Affairs Medical Centers and clinics.
Project Healing Waters brings a high-quality, full-spectrum fly fishing program to an ever-expanding number of disabled active military service personnel across the Veterans Affairs Healthcare System, in Military Hospitals and the Warrior Transition Command. We focus our resources wherever the need is greatest and expand our partner base in the process. PHWFF has become recognized as an innovative leader and model in the field of therapeutic outdoor recreation for the disabled, through its successful application of the sport of fly fishing as a rehabilitation tool.
Save Boundary Waters
The Campaign, led by Northeastern Minnesotans for Wilderness, was organized by local residents in and around Ely, Minnesota, who are dedicated to creating a national movement to protect the clean water, clean air and forest landscape of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness and its watershed from toxic pollution caused by mining copper, nickel and other metals from sulfide-bearing ore.
Wounded Warrior Project
Every warrior has a next mission. We know that the transition to civilian life is a journey. And for every warrior, family member, and caregiver, that journey looks different. We are here for their first step, and each step that follows. Because we believe that every warrior should have a positive future to look forward to. There’s always another goal to achieve, another mission to discover. We are their partner in that mission.
Joy Junction
Joy Junction is a place of refuge to those who have been forced into the streets. We are a 501(c)(3) faith based nonprofit church organization dedicated to helping homeless men, women, children, and families in Albuquerque by providing food, clothing, shelter, and safety. Our faith-based church ministry serves as many as 300 individuals a night including as many as 60 to 80 children every day. Each year we are able to serve more than 200,000 meals thanks to the generous contributions of citizens and businesses throughout the city. At some point, almost everyone needs a hand up in life for one reason or another. Whether this is from family, friends, or strangers, the assistance is always greatly appreciated. We want to be the Hand Up for the homeless in Albuquerque.
Albuquerque Christian Children’s Home
In 1969, the Elders at the University Church of Christ had a dream to open a Children’s Home in Albuquerque. Joel and Nina Taylor, pioneer ranchers on Albuquerque’s west side, donated the site of their ranch headquarters to the Albuquerque Christian Children’s Home and the dream became a reality. From its inception, the mission of the Albuquerque Christian Children’s Home has been to provide the very best physical, psychological, and spiritual care for school aged children. These children often come to us from situations of abuse, neglect, or abandonment. We care for each child as long as our help is needed, providing a home of peace, comfort, and safety where God’s love is expressed to each child every day.
