The Eagle's Healing Nest in Anoka is a non-profit organization committed to meeting the needs of veterans, service members and their families who suffer from the invisible wounds of war. The entire team is committed to meeting those needs.  A promise to one and a need of many was what created the vision of “Eagle’s Healing Nest”.  In late 2017, the group opened a shelter for homeless veterans at Cottage No. 2 on the campus of the historic state hospital in Anoka.  

 

The “Eagle” represents the past, present and future military strength, independence, pride and honor.  The “Nest” is full of meaning such as home, family, brotherhood, safety and security.  The “Hands” cradling the nest represents the many that will wrap their support and give services to the veterans and military members to help reintegrate them back to their families and into their communities.

 

Many military veterans are struggling and need programs with a caring hand to assist them.  Eagle’s Healing Nest helps foster that purpose and direction.  Sen. Jim Abeler will speak to Coon Rapids Rotary on Monday about the Eagle's Healing Nest project.  We hope you can join us for lunch and an inspiring program.
