The Issue: Veterans Facing Mental and Economic Hardship

About 1.4 million veterans are considered at risk for homelessness, due to lack of support networks, poverty, and otherwise dismal living conditions, according to data cited by the National Coalition for Homeless Veterans. This problem is compounded by the fact that unemployment for post-9/11 veterans remains at 10.9%, well above the national average. Additionally, 44% of returning veterans have reported difficulties ranging from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) to depression, making it difficult to hold down a job and support their families.

The Campaign: Building Gardens to Support Veterans

All donations to this Grassroots campaign will be used by Seeds of Hope to build garden beds at Fisher House locations. Each bed requires six 8-foot-long wood planks ($100), 12 bags of soil ($100), six seed packets ($20), weed barriers ($10), plus nails, brackets, and screws ($18). For every $250 raised, Seeds of Hope can purchase all the materials needed to build one garden bed. Each Seeds of Hope garden typically contains two beds.

At Fisher Houses across the country, which are generally located near VA hospitals, Seeds of Hope partners Girl Scouts with veterans and their families. Together, they plant, maintain, and harvest crops at their homemade gardens, providing 50 pounds of produce each year for the veterans and the families and an educational experience for the girls. Gardening also provides a soothing pastime for veterans with PTSD. Seeds of Hope ultimately hopes to build gardens in 10 different states by the end of this year.

French Country Inn and Cooking School amid Wine Country

Woodinville wine country is only a half-hour drive from the brewpubs and art galleries of downtown Seattle, but the two areas couldn't be more different. Rolling orchards, wooded hills, and replica chateaus make Woodinville feel more like the Loire Valley than a metropolitan suburb. This is where you'll find award winning French Country Inn L'Auberge at The Edge of Seattle Inn. The 5-acre property is secluded amid towering pines and banks of lavender.

The cooking school operates out of an open-plan kitchen with a wraparound chopping block. With this Getaway, you get to take one class on classic French fare, which runs Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 5:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Up to 12 students learn to craft a three-course meal that might center on mushroom crepes, leek-stuffed salmon, or chicken cordon bleu as well as desserts such as crème brûlée or chocolate mousse. For the dinner that follows, each person is allowed to bring one bottle of wine.

The attached bed and breakfast shows a similar indebtedness to French culturethe rooms feature antique French furnishings and country-floral prints. But there's also a general homey feel to the place. There are extra pajamas in the dresser and spare toothbrushes in the bathroom. The studio suite comes with a book collection and decorative china, and the Honeymoon suite boasts a wood-burning fireplace, a private veranda, and an elegant vanity set. Every morning, there's a continental breakfast spread that includes french pastries and house-made jam; if you want to upgrade, the gourmet breakfast (included in the Honeymoon option) serves parsley potatoes and belgian waffles with strawberries and cream.

Woodinville Valley, Washington: Wineries and Breweries Minutes from Seattle

Located about 25 miles northeast of Seattle, the Woodinville Valley features dozens of boutique wineries. One of the oldest, Chateau Ste. Michelle, also hosts a concert series every summer; this year's performers include the Steve Miller Band and Counting Crows with special guests The Wallflowers. Wine-tasting tours are understandably popular here, but it's also worth looking into the region's microbreweries, which supply many of the craft IPAs that are a hit among Seattleites.

Outside the realm of grapevines, there are some lovely parks in the area. Along the banks of Lake Washington, the 316-acre Saint Edward State Park shelters bald eagles and otters. Marymoor Park borders Lake Sammamish and has its own velodrome, an angled racetrack that was built for bicyclists and to prop up coffee tables with missing legs.

The Issue: Feline Homelessness and Euthanasia

Homelessness is the single leading cause of death for healthy cats and dogs in the United States, according to facts supplied by the Washington Alliance for Humane Legislation. Five to seven million homeless companion animals enter animal shelters nationwide every year, and approximately 70% of cats including tens of thousands in Washington state are euthanized due to a lack of space or resources to adequately care for them, according to statistics from the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Spaying and neutering helps to reduce the number of unwanted litters, thus keeping cats and kittens out of shelters where they may be euthanized and off the streets where they might otherwise fall victim to starvation, cruelty, and neglect.

The Campaign: Spaying or Neutering Cats

All donations to this Grassroots campaign will be used by Purrfect Pals to perform free spaying or neutering surgery on feral cats and cats from low-income households, and provide them with a vaccination. For every $30 raised, the organization can provide care for one cat.

An adjustment gently relocates displaced discs, and spinal decompression lessens pressure in the spine and can alleviate a range of issues. Since each clinic runs its own practice, processes can vary depending on location.

Spacious Studios Centrally Located in Bavarian-Themed Village

The alpine village of Leavenworth in central Washington could easily pass for a hamlet in Bavaria. Half-timbered buildings fly German flags and old-fashioned street lamps line the pedestrian-friendly streets. Fittingly, there are plenty of German restaurants serving sausages and local beer. You might even catch a sidewalk polka performance. Adventure Inn fits perfectly in this festive town. The hotel features spacious studios overlooking the shopping district of Leavenworth.

Downstairs, the Der Hinterhof beer garden dishes out Bavarian-style bratwurst and pints of locally made brews. The bar holds rollicking Oktoberfest celebrations during the first three weekends in October. In addition to German-style brews, you can enjoy Cascade Valley Wine Countrys tasty varietals at Baroness Cellars and Bergdorf Cellars in downtown Leavenworth.

Leavenworth, Washington: Alpine Village in the Cascades

Once a busy logging town, the village of Leavenworth fell upon hard times when the Great Northern Railway Company rerouted its trains in the 1920s. More than 40 years later, locals determined to save the town banded together and hatched an unusual scheme: they would turn Leavenworth into a Bavarian-themed tourist destination. Taking advantage of its Cascade Range setting, the entire town was rebuilt in the vein of an alpine village.

The makeover transformed every aspect of the settlement, from store signsnow hand-carved wooden poststo the exteriors of every building in town, including local fast-food restaurants. Year-round festivals were planned, old-fashioned street lamps were erected, and restaurants imported German chefs and dressed serving staff in traditional Bavarian garb. Today, Leavenworth thrives as an homage to southeastern Germany, with handmade chocolate truffles and brat stands on every corner.

Leavenworth's main drag, Front Street, is lined with galleries, boutique gift shops, and cafés serving locally brewed beer. A three-minute walk from the inn, the Leavenworth Nutcracker Museum houses thousands of nutcrackers ranging from the classic soldier to quirky wooden bears and crocodiles. Just outside the village, hiking and biking paths crisscross Waterfront Park, a public park that runs along the Wenatchee River.
