What SpectraCare Foundation does

SpectraCare Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization headquartered in Lindenwold, New Jersey (Camden County), founded by Michael D. Van Stine (Executive Director) and Kathleen Van Stine (Senior Director for Community Relations). The foundation provides free charitable and therapeutic services to three beneficiary groups: at-risk veterans in Southern New Jersey (primary segment), at-risk seniors experiencing isolation and food insecurity, and at-risk animals (rescue horses, senior dogs and cats) that are integrated into therapeutic programming or rehomed with veterans and seniors. It is not a technology company; its core capability is the in-person delivery of a multi-modal therapeutic and social-support ecosystem anchored at the Carlton R. Rouh Veterans Center, a dedicated facility opened in May 2021.

The foundation's service portfolio spans 13 active programs, including equine therapy (delivered at Forgotten Angels Equine Rescue in Medford, NJ), healing arts, photography, culinary arts, gardening (Seeds of Change), pet therapy (Paws Plus, Elder-to-Elder, A Rescue to Remember), community meals via a network of Southern New Jersey food pantries and the Food Bank of South Jersey, Fulfill-A-Wish for terminally ill veterans and seniors, and weekly Coffee & Conversation gatherings. The organization also operates the SCF Store (via Printful) for branded merchandise and accepts donations through Stripe, Zeffy, Venmo, Cash App, and automobile donations.

Revenue is generated entirely through contributions — individual and corporate donations (105 donors across 50+ named corporate sponsors including Aetna, Home Depot, Holman Enterprises, Mission BBQ, and T.C. Irons Insurance), peer-to-peer fundraising, a $19/month recurring subscription program, ticketed fundraising events (annual Honor Our Heroes Gala, golf outings, craft fairs, car shows), branded merchandise, automobile donations, and institutional grants from The Patriot Fund and the Camden County Board of Commissioners. All services are provided at no charge to clients. The foundation is GuideStar Gold certified (2021) and its founders received the 2025 Camden County MLK Freedom Award.
