Felling Trailers, Inc. is conducting its tenth annual online auction of an FT-3 drop deck utility trailer to benefit a non-profit organization. Eagle’s Healing Nest is the 2022 recipient.
Felling Trailers wants to help generate awareness about the invisible wounds of war that our veterans carry. The company manufactured and painted one of its most popular trailers custom metallic “Patriot Blue” with chrome pinstriping and bears Eagle’s Healing Nest’s emblem along with its credo “Promises Made. Promises Kept.”
The online trailer auction will run from August 22—August 27. Several Felling Trailers' suppliers have joined to support Eagle’s Healing Nest by sponsoring the trailer build, from lighting to tires to decking. The 2022 Trailer for a Cause sponsors are Trans-Texas, PPG, Dexter, Sealco, Peterson, Industrial Wood (Blackwood), Demco, Pacific Rim, and Metal Crafters/Flexco. One hundred percent of the winning bid will benefit Eagle’s Healing Nest.
Founder Melony Butler created the Nest to be a place of peace and healing for veterans struggling from a host of issues ranging from depression, anxiety, PTSD, decades of homelessness, to addictions of many sorts. Eagle's Healing Nest is located in Sauk Centre, Minn., on 124 acres with 24 buildings. Butler opened the Eagle’s Healing Nest in 2012 with two functional buildings. Since that time, the organization renovated 21 of the 24 buildings on site. When the last of the buildings are complete, the Nest will be able to house 180-200 veterans, service members, and their families.
The Trailer for a Cause auction will start on Monday, August 22, at 7 a.m. at the non-profit’s Nest Fest. The Eagle’s Healing Nest is a non-profit organization that receives no government funding. Nest Fest is one of a few fundraising events the Nest hosts yearly. Now in its 9th year, the volunteers and residents of the organization open their doors to the community with veteran-made crafts, a silent auction, bake sale, tours, and the Trailer for a Cause auction.
