Program Spotlight
Young Marines Foster Care Support
The Sgt. Anthony Patrick Muhlstadt Foundation is a nonprofit dedicated to military mental health and suicide prevention, created in honor of Marine Sgt. Anthony Patrick Muhlstadt.
They serve active-duty service members, veterans, and their families by providing practical, life-saving support and education, including ASIST (Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training) workshops at no cost to military units and communities.
Through a generous gift from Young Minds Foundation, this work specifically supports the Adopt-A-Hero program, which provides encouragement and resources to Future Service Members, helping young adults build resilience, connection, and a strong support network as they prepare for a life of service.
Program Spotlight
Legacy Village
Legacy Village in their support of providing Academic Success through after school tutoring and mentoring; Personal and Professional Development focusing on self improvement, family dynamics community education and involvement; Holistic Health and Wellness. They do so much with so little that it is our honor to support them.
Who is next?
That depends on the donations we raise. $2500 at a time can impact those who have been unseen, typically underserved populations. Amazing people are stepping up to help them in their own communities and they need just a little bit of help. That's where we come in. We don't think nonprofits have to be multimillion dollar organizations to make a difference. We can be small and focused on making a difference. We hope you will join us by donating any amount and or by suggestion a program who may need our help.
