A Very special 'thanks' to our private donors.  these individuals and families have donated in order to sponsor one or more veterans for our annual retreats.  your patriotism is unmatched and we could not FACILITATE this program without your support.  Thank you for assisting us in providing voyages of healing for the mind, body and soul.

Mr. and mrs. vern van de loo

the van de loo family have GENEROUSLY supported and funded 2 veterans each year since our program started.  this family understands the importance of spiritual health in conjunction with mental and physical well being.  as members of the grove, we are truly GRATEFUL for their support and efforts each year as we work towards spiritual healing of our nation's veterans!
