Friends of Disabled Veterans – (Washington) Supports disable veterans by offering a place where they can enjoy indoor activities and outdoor adventures with their family and friends. This is an environment of support, appreciation and respect. The goal is to help disabled veterans feel completely accepted and included in a fun, relaxing environment.
As part of their program, they take disabled veterans, along with a family member or friend, on local hunts. They have acquired access to private land from landowners who wanted to give back to disabled veterans. Friends of Disabled Veterans have helped design and create unique scissor lifts on trailers that veterans can use to reach heights up to 20 feet, allowing them to view the surrounding area for their hunt.
Weekend Retreat: The resort is being built in stages and is currently available for hunting expeditions. Once complete, veterans will also have access to a stunning lodge, a do-it-yourself garden, a traditional archery range, and a children’s playground —all ADA compliant. Activities will include hunting, horseback riding, indoor/outdoor gatherings, gardening, and archery. All of which will be designed specifically for ADA compliance.
