🌲 This #GivingTuesday, Help Us Break the Winter Isolation Cycle

For many adults with different abilities across Maryland, winter doesn’t just bring cold weather—it brings months of being stuck indoors, limited social interaction, and a deep sense of disconnection from the natural world and their community.

At Lucky & Blessed Fishing (LABF), we see this problem up close every year.
And this winter—we’re doing something about it.

🌞 Introducing the LABF Winter Outdoor & Environmental Stewardship Program

Beginning January through March, LABF is partnering with local park naturalists to bring monthly outdoor environmental education adventures to adults with different abilities from The Arc, BayCSS, Arvina, and other partner organizations statewide.

Your #GivingTuesday support helps us:

🌿 Get people outdoors even in the winter, safely and accessibly
🤝 Build friendships and social confidence through shared experiences
🧭 Teach environmental stewardship, conservation, and nature skills
🚶‍♂️ Provide movement, fresh air, and mental well-being
💙 Replace isolation with community, purpose, and joy

This isn’t just a program—it’s a lifeline during the hardest months of the year.

💚 The Problem We’re Solving

Adults with different abilities across Maryland often face:

Weeks with no outdoor time
Limited social engagement
Increased depression, anxiety, and regression of personal goals
Barriers to transportation, access, and inclusive activities

LABF’s winter program directly tackles these challenges by creating monthly outdoor moments of connection that uplift health, independence, and confidence.

🎁 Your Gift Makes This Possible

Each winter program day includes naturalist-led sessions, adaptive support, snacks, safe access to Maryland’s incredible park spaces, and caring LABF mentors and staff.
