Giving Back in 2017

Good afternoon everyone,

Christmas is one week away and the holidays are here. Mythic Landing Enterprises has had a great year and have a lot to be thankful for. Here at MLE, giving back to the community is a big part of what we aim to do so each year we donate to one or two special charities. This year our two charities are Central Union Mission and Wounded Warrior Project. These two are special for us so we wanted to let you know a little bit more about each one.

Central Union Mission
"Central Union Mission is a faith-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization with six locations throughout the Washington metropolitan area. In addition to its family ministries, the Mission operates an emergency shelter program, a rehabilitation program for men with life-controlling issues, a food, clothing and furniture distribution center, a retreat and recreation center with a camp for underprivileged children, programs for isolated seniors, computer and job training, and transitional and low-cost housing.

The Mission is continually developing its programs to meet the changing needs of the community. Its programs serve homeless men, underprivileged women, children, seniors, families and veterans.

One life at a time, the Mission works to help transform the area’s toughest rehabilitation cases, including drug addicts, gang members, criminal offenders and the chronically homeless into productive members of society. The Mission’s programs have an extremely high success rate at helping individuals overcome addiction and homelessness, and achieve independent living."

Wounded Warrior Project
"Wounded Warrior Project® (WWP) provides free programs and services to address the needs of wounded warriors and fill gaps in government care. The demand for our programs and services has grown from serving a handful of injured veterans to now serving tens of thousands, and we continue to receive hundreds of new registrations from injured veterans, their families, and caregivers each month."
