TREELINE Making a Difference Fund (TMDF)
Treeline Making a Difference (TMD) is a 501c3 nonprofit charity committed to supporting Veterans, youth, and our local community. The fund allows Treeline’s employees, clients, and community members the opportunity to give to others. Since its inception in 2011, TMD has provided over $37,000 to various groups and to local community organizations. Current support is focused on House in the Woods, Jeffrey Ludden Memorial Scholarship, Community Kids, Lincoln Area Community Support, and General Fund. TMD’s Board of Directors welcomes input and participation to insure wise use of all funds.
House In The Woods
House in the Woods mission is to create a therapeutic, recreational, and educational retreat for our nation’s U.S. armed forces and their families, using outdoor wilderness activities in Maine and natural habitats to help participants share common challenges related to their service and sacrifice in protecting our nation’s freedom and democratic ideals.
Jeffrey Ludden Memorial Scholarship
This scholarship is in memory of Jeff Ludden who tragically lost his life on his motorcycle on July 22nd, 2017. Jeff’s entire career had revolved around heavy trucks, trailers, and equipment predominately in the forest industry. To say that Jeffrey Ludden was an outstanding truck driver, equipment operator and technician is a great understatement. Jeff raised the bar in everything he did. In the process he touched and inspired not only our culture at Treeline but our entire community. This Scholarship, in his name, will memorialize and sustain the positive impact that Jeff had on our industry.
Community Kids
Community Kids is a non-profit extension of the children’s ministries of Community Evangel Temple. Community Kids serves the greater Lincoln community through an after-school program, a preschool enrichment and full-day care program, as well as a four-week summer camp for students entering grades 1-8. In 2005 the program started as an after-school program for 6 students, and now it has grown to serve many families in the surrounding Lincoln area.
Lincoln Area Community Support
Natural disasters, fires, and local community members falling on tough times- it can happen at any time. This is a fund set up for such circumstances.
