Since acquiring the historic St. Marys Armory, we have made significant improvements, including repairing the roof, installing a new ceiling, upgrading all plumbing, and installing a temporary heating system. Additionally, we recently released a community health survey to identify the services and events that would most benefit our local community. This survey will be open for responses for a year before being analyzed, published, and used to influence future programs offered by The St. Marys Community Armory. Leading into 2025, we are excited to announce our pilot program, The Veteran Pathways Project.

​

The Veteran Pathways Project is designed to help support our local veterans and includes:

• Individual and Group Counseling: Professional mental health support tailored to veterans’ needs.

• Case Management Services: Personalized care plans to ensure stability and resource access.

• VA Benefits Support: Assistance with navigating applications and claims.

• Job Placement and Application Assistance: Helping veterans find meaningful employment.

• Mentorship: Connecting veterans with peers and community leaders for guidance.

​

While we have made great progress, the Armory building still requires essential renovations, including the installation of new windows and a rooftop HVAC system. These improvements are crucial to creating a safe and comfortable space for veterans to receive care and participate in our programs.

​

Our goal is to raise $80,000 in 2025 to support the launch of the Veteran Pathways Project and complete these necessary building upgrades.

 

To achieve this, we are offering multiple funding levels to recognize and thank our generous supporters:

• Private ($250+): Supporters will receive social media recognition and a Private sponsorship bumper sticker.

• Sergeant ($1,000+): Supporters will receive social media recognition and a Sergeant sponsorship bumper sticker.

• Master Sergeant ($5,000+): Supporters will receive a Master Sergeant bumper sticker and a small hanging plaque to be displayed on the building.

• Sergeant Major ($10,000+): Supporters will have their name engraved on one of six plaques mounted to the front of the building. These plaques will be displayed outside for two years before being moved to an indoor permanent display.​
