Community-Based Outpatient Clinic

CBOC

(Partnership) The Center for Development & Civic Engagement, VA Central Ohio Healthcare System (CBOCs - Community-Based Outpatient Clinics): 

We have established a valuable partnership with the Chalmers P. Wylie Veterans Administration (VA) in central Ohio. 

Through this collaboration, we have established “M.A.S.H. Pantry Closets” - small pantries at five VA Community-Based Outpatient Clinic locations in Columbus, Grove City, Marion, Newark, and Zanesville. 

These closets will provide monthly support, offering snacks, juice, coffee (condiments), personal hygiene items, and food.

GREAT NEWS: In the first quarter of 2025, M.A.S.H. will extend its services to the Louis Stokes Cleveland CBOCs, reaching the following locations: 

Akron, Akron West, Canton, Youngstown, Cleveland Euclid, Cleveland Superior, Mansfield, Calcutta, Willoughby, Sheffield Village, New Philadelphia, Parma, Ravenna, Sandusky, Summit, and Warren.

M.A.S.H. is excited to announce the development of LLAMA LOVE THERAPY in the picturesque region of Ferguson, N.C. Our primary mission is to provide therapeutic services through interaction with llamas, offering emotional and mental health benefits to individuals of all ages. We will be serving veterans, active-duty military, military families and survivors, individuals with autism, individuals with disabilities, and other programs aimed at enhancing social interaction, communication, and emotional and mental health.

Veteran Purposeful Community Initiative

Building a Sustainable Future for Veterans and Their Families 

Global Won and M.A.S.H. Pantry of Columbus, Ohio, have partnered through the Housed by Nature Ecosystem to establish a Veteran Purposeful Community—a self-sustaining, micro-grid community designed to empower Veterans and their families. This initiative integrates affordable housing, wellness programs, job training, and essential Veteran resources, creating a

thriving, circular economy. Rooted in nature and innovation, it fosters agriculture,

entrepreneurship, and holistic well-being, ensuring long-term success, stability, and a renewed sense of purpose for those who have served.

The Community Will Offer:

• Micro-Grid Community: Sustainable infrastructure powered by renewable energy,

ensuring self-sufficiency.

• Affordable Housing: Safe, stable homes for veterans and their families, with transitional

and permanent housing options.

• Veteran Resources & Support: Access to VA-assisted programs, PTSD wellness

centers, and mental health support.

• Job Training & Entrepreneurship: Skill-building programs in agriculture, food

distribution, construction, and small business development.

• Agriculture & Food Security: Farm-to-table initiatives, a food pantry serving 80,000+

meals per year, and an education-focused Farming Ecology Center.

• Economic Growth & Tourism: Stimulating commerce through Airbnb-style short-term

stays, eco-tourism, events, and marketplace ventures.

• Community Engagement: Collaboration with veteran organizations (VFW, Veteran

Lodges, Wings of Valor, etc.), fostering a network of support.

• Research & Innovation: Partnering with third-party organizations for proof-of-concept development in sustainable living solutions.

Impact on Veterans, Families & the Community

This Veteran Purposeful Community will provide a holistic pathway to stability, purpose, and economic independence. By fostering a self-reliant, innovation-driven ecosystem, we will:

✔ Empower veterans with meaningful employment, stable housing, and essential resources. ✔ Strengthen families with safe, thriving environments and access to education and wellness programs. ✔ Revitalize communities through sustainable agriculture, economic growth, and increased collaboration. ✔ Promote sustainability through micro-grid technology, food production, and circular economic models.

This initiative is more than just a housing project—it’s a movement toward resilience, self-sufficiency, and long-term prosperity for veterans, their families, and the communities that support them.

Since 2016, M.A.S.H. has been working with Veterans at the Commons of Livingston, a Section 8 community dedicated to housing veterans. 

The Commons is run by National Church Residences and is home to 100 formerly homeless Veterans. 

M.A.S.H. provides fresh produce and warm meals, as well as Peer-to-Peer support as needed. 

M.A.S.H. brings veterans together through our monthly Community Socials, offering a space for peer support, camaraderie, and connection. 

We are dedicated to ensuring that no brother or sister-in-arms is left behind. 

The gatherings may feature inspiring speakers, access to local and global nonprofit resources, highlights of veteran-owned businesses, and plenty of engaging activities.

Helping American heroes celebrate the holidays with warmth and gratitude can make all the difference in their lives.
