DONATE NOW

Dear Friends,

 

I am grateful for the amazing commitment to duty and service our men and women of the military demonstrate each day. Equally astounding is the family who willingly shares in that sacrifice. Join me in thanking all of these families who give of themselves selflessly. Also, join me in thanking the families who gave everything for our freedom. Memorial Day is a time to reflect on their service, and a time to vow to do our part to support those who serve. 

 

With Deepest Respect,

 

Lisa Dunster

President, Compass Retreat Center  

We Need Your Help...
Be the Difference for Our Heroes and Their Families

 

In Honor of Memorial Day, a time to remember those who gave all for their country, could we honor the Memory of the Fallen by committing to support their comrades who have come home? Your support and generosity provide the opportunity to intentionally reconnect, rebuild, restore, and re-ignite the core of their family so that as they move forward they can find strength in the relationship with one another.

 
Our needs are immediate as we are offering our next retreat in September. I am asking you to consider making a personally significant tax-deductible contribution now.  I urge you to stop and reflect:  Who do you know whose life has been enriched by the life of a military service member? Whom do you know with the means and the motivation to help, right now?  Who do you know that would stand with your family and meet this challenge to support these families?   We consider each donation valuable no matter the amount.   

 

We have already serviced families from Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Missouri, West Virginia and Alabama, but the need for our program is growing significantly and we cannot do it alone.Your generous support provides their housing, food, programming, high adventure activities, and best of all lasting relationships. Our amazing team of over 45 volunteers contributes more than 2000 volunteer hours to make it happen. Every dollar given goes directly to scholarships for these families. Your financial support means that these families do not have to sacrifice more than they already have.

In Their Own Words...


"This retreat made a difference in the way we communicate as a family."   

"I thought we were coming to have family time but I did not know that we would get opportunities to talk and learn from each other too. This is great!"

"These retreats really do provide a healing community that leaves a lasting positive impact. What most people do not realize is that these men and women have lived with the  explicit risk of dying at any moment, 24 hours a day.   Learning how to manage this stressor even when the threat is removed is huge.  They cannot just turn it off because they came home.  Compass Retreat Center focuses on holistic healing of mind body and spirit increasing opportunity for restoration to occur. "
