Fishing for the Mission 22 is a non-profit organization, classified as a 501(c)(3), that focuses on providing a therapeutic approach to help heal veterans through fishing. The organization also aims to raise awareness about the alarming statistic of 22 or more veterans lost to suicide each day in the United States. This statistic highlights the ongoing mental health challenges faced by veterans and the urgent need for support.
Our Common Ground 22 Connect program provides veterans with the opportunity to enjoy the therapeutic benefits of recreational fishing through fishing charters.
Operation Tackle 22 is our peer-to-peer leadership development and vocational mentorship program dedicated to preventing suicide and promoting healing among our heroes.
Join us in supporting our heroes as they embark on a transformative journey of healing, skill development, and empowerment. Together, we can make a lasting difference in their lives. Please consider making a donation today.
