Adirondack Council, Inc.
Since its founding forty years ago in 1975, the Adirondack Council has been the leading advocate for protecting New York State’s six-million-acre Adirondack Park. Created in 1892 as a unique six-million-acre patchwork of both publicly and privately owned lands, the Adirondack Park is the largest park in the contiguous United States. By State Constitution, the public portions are protected as "Forever Wild" Adirondack Forest Preserve. The Adirondack Council, using the best science, works to protect and build a better Adirondack Park with wild character and vibrant communities. We defend wilderness, support community sustainability, fight for clean air and water, combat invasive species and climate change, and advocate for private land stewardship and working farms and forests.

THEN FEED JUST ONE INC
Then Feed Just One is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit corporation with a mobile food packaging program that packages life saving nutritious meals for starving children and their families in Honduras, Central America. Our name is taken from a quote of Mother Teresa, who once said, “If you cannot feed a hundred people, then feed just one.” Our goal is simple: to help alleviate hunger and malnutrition in the second poorest country in the Western Hemisphere. The food we package is used as a base from which the hungry and malnourished can help escape the dire consequences of their daily lives. In cooperation with various organizations in Honduras this food is distributed to the most needy in orphanages, children’s homes, and throughout the general population. We accomplish this task each time a school, church, club, or community desires to have a food packing event.

ISRAEL GUIDE DOG CENTER FOR THE BLIND
The mission of the Israel Guide Dog Center for the Blind is to improve the quality of life of visually impaired Israelis by providing them with independence, mobility and self confidence, as well as renewed self-esteem and companionship through the use of guide dogs. What we do: We breed, raise and train the guide dogs at our facility in Beit Oved, Israel, just south of Tel Aviv. When a blind Israeli requests our assistance, we transport them to our center, house and feed them for three weeks during training, and provide an additional week of training in their homes. We also provide follow-up care twice a year to make sure that the partnership is still working properly. This is all done AT NO COST TO THE BLIND! We are able to provide these services through the generosity of our donors – who have the vision to help those less fortunate. Our annual budget is just over $2.7 Million dollars, and as of December 2017, we had produced over 600 partnerships between Israelis who are blind or visually impaired and professionally trained guide dogs. Secondary Mission: In 2013 we added a secondary mission by providing Service Companions to people with Special Needs. While half of our dogs are selected for guide dog training, 50% fail to meet our exacting standards during evaluations, but these amazingly well trained dogs can still help people. In 2013 we formalized a program to repurpose these "career-change" dogs and provide them to blind children, autistic children, soldiers with PTSD or other adults with a variety of special needs. All of the dogs we produce go to loving homes and serve a purpose by helping people in need.
