More about VETERANS OFF GRID:
We are an all-volunteer organization dedicated to making a long-term difference in helping veterans overcome homelessness and mental health challenges, all while honoring the Earth with sustainable building practices and respect for nature. We are implementing programs that empower psychological and physical well-being, provide job skills training and entrepreneurship, and promote environmental stewardship. It is a holistic approach used to impart a sense of self-sufficiency, re-establish pride and brotherhood, and help veterans reintegrate back into society from a place of familiarity and strength. Our story begins in 2017 with Mr. Ryan Timmermans, then living in South Carolina, purchasing 50 acres in Carson, New Mexico. Since then, we have accomplished many milestones to help homeless veterans and promote eco-friendly living.
