The Veterans Bridge Home provides veterans with a place of community and support to ease their transition back into civilian life. No matter the need, VBH looks at the whole Veteran, connecting them to resources to be successful and thriving leaders in our community.
Through supply donations, resourceful uses of materials, and creative solutions, the project construction, which was budgeted at $250,000 was delivered for $100,000. The space was built with as many veterans as possible, including 35% of the onsite workers as well as veteran-owned millwork, signage, and carpet vendors.
Design elements within the space include a millwork wall inspired by military challenge coin displays, a ceiling feature using veteran donated parachutes, and “conversation walls” hosting cherished artifacts and an interactive map where veterans can pin their service locations.
As part of teambuilding during the project, almost 100 challenge coins, which are historically awarded by unit commanders in recognition of special achievement, were presented to everyone engaged on the project as a token of thanks for going above and beyond to make this project possible.
