Our History
Woodworking for Warriors is a 501c3 charitable organization which grew out of a joint effort between the Adrian (Michigan) Rotary Club and the Sam Beauford Woodworking Institute (a charitable organization) in 2018. It now boasts over 300 members, each of whom served our country with honor. Groups of our members, male and female, met weekly for a full day of woodworking and camaraderie at Sam Beauford’s woodshop in Adrian, Michigan.
The sense of camaraderie among the veterans is palpable. The workshop is not just a space for solitary endeavors; it was a hub of collective projects and shared experiences. Group builds, cookouts, and shared meals further solidified the bond between the veterans. The workshop became more than just a place to work on projects; it transformed into a community where veterans found understanding, support, and friendship.
But as the program grew, the financial burden on Sam Beauford became too much and the shop time available to the veterans was impacting its bottom line. While strong ties still remain with Sam Beauford Woodworking Institute, we no longer have use of their shop and we recently created Woodworking for Warriors as a separate entity and our leadership team is working hard to identify and secure replacement workspace.
