Give Back Challenge

Anchor Assistance Dogs places service dogs with people and children with disabilities and facility dogs to serve many people as therapy animals. With $5,000, we could invest in another great dog to train for one of the many people and organizations waiting for a trained dog. It is costly for our organization to obtain and train dogs to work as service animals. It would be very helpful to our small organization. Every dollar counts.

Donating to our organization to allow us to fulfill our mission and place dogs with people in need. Spreading the word about our services and need for donations and volunteer puppy raisers.

Organization rescues animals (horses, llamas, mini horses, goats, sheep) and works with girls rescued from human trafficking using the animals as animal and equine therapy. The funds would be so helpful in getting the girls continued help with education, jobs, therapy, feeding and housing the girls as well as feeding the animals. We are a 501c3 organization that relies solely on donations, mostly local.

Volunteer to plan and help with a fundraising dinner/silent auction or donate horse feed/hay/animal feed for the animals we rescue. Or donate dheets for single beds and bath towels for the girls.

The Armed Services YMCA is a non-profit that has served Hampton Roads military families for many years. We are separate from the general YMCA organization. Our ASYMCA consistently reassesses the community’s current needs and establishes programs to meet those needs. With the pandemic and economic challenges we are facing - it has been determined that our area needs licensed and certified pre-schools. We have confirmed approval for beginning the new pre-school spring of 2021. But, we need...

an enlarged, updated playground. The Give Back Challenge would allow us to begin deconstruction and development of the fencing, barriers, and outdoor play space for these pre-school students.
