Local Charities We Support

 First Responder’s Coffee Company (FRCC) is a purpose driven, high quality coffee company that serves our nation's heroes as well as their friends and family. Portions of our sales go directly back to the first responder community and provide equipment, training, and mental health treatment. 

Sebastien Lajeunesse has found comfort and purpose at a hops and strawberry farm in north Lake County. And the Mount Dora man is on a mission to help other veterans as well. He calls this former citrus grove in Umatilla his "veterans healing farm."

"So what I do," he said, "is I hire other combat veterans like myself who suffer from PTSD for them to come work at the farm in a therapeutic environment to help cope with their trauma."

To empower Veterans by providing effective alternative therapies and community engagement.

To be the leading provider of alternative treatments for Military and Veteran populations.

Warrior Wellness Program’s employees, volunteers, participants and other stakeholders are determined to continue the Mission of the organization which is to provide effective alternative therapies to those affected by the traumas of war. Our goal remains to create a healthy, connected, resilient Veteran population. The employees of Warrior Wellness Program will move forward and align with the following set of core values and ethics for all employees and volunteers, including the Board of Directors.

 In today’s world of 24-hour news cycles, changing technologies, and push-button gratification, it’s a challenge to stay connected to the values that our great country was built on. Ideals like integrity, commitment, and personal responsibility are what our founding fathers relied on to win our independence and to then make America a great nation. At Project Appleseed™, we’re dedicated to keeping these timeless values alive. We promote civic responsibility through the teaching of colonial history and the American tradition of rifle marksmanship. Even after all of these years, there is much to be learned from our forefathers’ examples of perseverance, commitment, and civic virtue. With a full calendar of shooting clinics and events, Project Appleseed is here to make sure these timeless principles live on for generations to come. 

Our family, our team and our organization have been serving at-risk and traumatized children in Ukraine since 2001. We believe in taking action on behalf of the most vulnerable, so when we incorporated, we adopted a set of verses from the Bible, Psalm 82:3-4, which reads:

3 Defend the poor and fatherless:Do justice to the afflicted and needy.4 Deliver the poor and needy:Rescue them out of the hand of the wicked.The highlighted verbs above demonstrate the heart of God for the innocent, the helpless, the hopeless. We know that this is our calling, our life work and our mandate from God and work daily to honor Him while intervening on behalf of the children of Ukraine.
