Felling Trailers announced that its 10th annual Trailer for a Cause online auction will benefit Eagle’s Healing Nest in Sauk Centre, Minnesota.
Eagle's Healing Nest provides a place of peace and healing for veterans struggling with a range of issues, such as PTSD, traumatic brain injuries, anxiety, depression, homelessness and addiction.
"Our country's veterans' decision to sacrifice their time with family and friends, careers, and safety to train and respond when our country calls demonstrates courage and bravery that deserves respect from its beneficiaries," says Brenda Jennissen, president/CEO of Felling Trailers. "Having about 20 veterans on our team and being founded by a United States Air Force veteran makes it even more personal, and we're honored to give back to Eagle's Healing Nest to care for our country's heroes and meet their needs."
Eagle’s Healing Nest opened its doors in 2012 and is located on 124 acres with 24 buildings. Veterans and volunteers operate the healing center, and no government funding is received.
"The programs have been created by the veterans and what they felt they needed,” says Melony Butler, founder of Eagle’s Healing Nest. “The veterans here come from all across the country, from a failed system, active duty, hospitals, jail, commitments. We don't tell them how long they can be here. They stay as long as they need to heal."
Services include a mental health clinic specializing in accelerated resolution therapy, outpatient substance abuse programs, art and rock studios, welding shop, Stable Foundation Ministry (equine program), and Project Delta (service dog program).
Felling’s Trailer for a Cause auction raises funds and brings awareness to a different nonprofit each year and donates 100% of the winning bid. Previous auctions have raised over $30,000 for a number of nonprofit organizations, including Special Olympics Minnesota, Children’s Cancer Research Fund, Lymphoma Research Foundation and Minnesota Fire Fighters Foundation.
This year’s auction is planned for late summer and will take bids for a new FT-3 utility trailer.
