REFORGED

"TOGETHER WE ARE REFORGED"

Iron Work maker
Priority 1- HYDRAULIC PRESS AND ACCESSIBLE TOOLS

We do our best to provide equipment that will assist students to forge with autonomy so their knife is truly their own.  We acquired a Hydraulic Press to help disabled Veterans and First Responders shape their knives. We achieved our initial goals and continue to improve our accessible work area.

Dollar Bill in Jar
Priority 2- FUNDING

Funding puts the fun in forging.  We want to reach as many Vets and First Responders as possible.  Our goal is to expand services to include family members in individual therapy.  We have over 160 Veterans and First Responders signed up to take a class. We have many Reforged Alumni who use the forge on a regular basis.

Warehouse
Priority 3- EXPANDING WORK STATIONS

We have four forges and can support eight students at one time.  We want each student to have their own work station as well as equipment.  

Carpenter's Workshop
Priority 4- EXPAND PROGRAMS

Expand programs to also include art, woodworking, leatherworking, and architectural blacksmithing. Currently all counseling is provided by volunteers. We would like to establish paid trauma counselors. We seek support to extend counseling services to family members.
