Your
Mission Statement
Help
us help them. Your tax deductible donation to SOFTIN, Inc.
will enrich the lives of the handicapped, disabled, impaired,
elderly and youth we serve. You will give them educational
experiences and skills that they would otherwise never gain.
Imagine the nurturing power of close interaction with the
creatures of the sea – mammals, birds, fish, mollusks. Imagine
their joy of learning life-enriching skills including reading
the signs of weather, monitoring marine life, fishing, working
with ropes and learning to use charts/maps. Finally, imagine
the genuine and profound appreciation of the special people
we serve and empower to live fuller lives. Our mission is
made possible by your mission. Give generously and do it now
because the need is now.
