Lighting Fund Drive!!! https://bit.ly/VeteranServiceCorpsDonate
We need to raise $2,000-$5,000 right away to cover the phone & internet bill, take care of the chickens, and do some emergency vehicle repairs.
We are a non-profit supporting human and constitutional rights through service. Here's a quick update on what we've been up to this summer:
VSC hosted veterans and friends at the ranch in Promise for events including Memorial Day, sundance, and Fourth of July. Currently, two young men age 17 and 19 are in residence at the ranch taking advantage of service opportunities in the community.
Four veterans live at the ranch full time right now. So far this summer they have deployed our solar trailer, tents, and other supplies at sundances, events, ceremonies and powwows across the reservation. Gas and expenses are usually paid from personal funds.
Around the ranch, the gardens have expanded from one to three and water retention features added across the property. We continue to provide eggs to elders and families in many communities as part of our program to help veterans with PTSD through raising chickens.
We've expanded our board and are planning to embark on new sustainability and education programming opportunities later in the year.
Our website is also down so donations will be processed through one of our nonprofit partners, the Seven Circles Group, at https://bit.ly/VeteranServiceCorpsDonate.
