About Our Foundation
The CCW is a registered Massachusetts & IRS 501(c)(3) non-profit private foundation supported solely by community donations. Think of us as a community incubator built around traditional craftsmanship, veteran education, and mutual peer support. We are proudly veteran-owned and veteran-operated.
The CCW provides a completely free, well-equipped woodworking workshop for both men and women veterans of all skill levels. Our mission is to eliminate the high financial barriers of expensive woodworking tools and workshop space rental.
What We Offer Our Veterans
We believe that military veterans deserve more than just a hobby. They deserve a supportive environment that offers a new mission, practical trade skills, and a clear path toward economic independence.
- 100% Free Shop Access There is never a rental cost or membership fee for veterans—ever. All shop tools are fully available to use, and we gladly provide hands-on training for any machinery you aren't familiar with yet.
- Small Business Incubation Turn raw lumber into a viable source of secondary income. We offer business guidance to help you design, build, market, and sell your custom wood-based creations.
