Serve Those Who’ve Served Us

At Crystal River Take a Soldier Fishing, volunteers are the heart of everything we do. Each year, we willcome together as a community to give back to the brave men and women who’ve worn our nation’s uniform — offering them a weekend of fishing, fellowship, and appreciation in the beautiful waters of Crystal River, Florida.

Whether you can lend a few hours or the entire weekend, your time and effort make a difference. From helping at check-in and assisting at the docks to coordinating meals, sponsors, and logistics — every volunteer plays a vital role in creating a memorable experience for our heroes.
