A huge thank you to Lance at Old Glory Mills Woodworking in Templeton, MA, for providing the space and partnership that allows 22Mohawks to host our monthly flag-making workshops for veterans, active-duty service members, and first responders.

These workshops have become a meaningful opportunity for connection, camaraderie, and creativity, and we're grateful for Lance's continued support.

As we head into the summer months, we will be taking a break from our regularly scheduled workshops until September. However, if there is interest from a group of four veterans, active-duty service members, or first responders, 22Mohawks can schedule a workshop during July or August.

To inquire about reserving a group, please contact: 📞 Tom Barry: 508-837-9611 or 📞 Stacey : 774-273-3296

A special thank you to Tom, our Lead Volunteer, for helping make this program possible throughout the year. Your commitment to serving our community is valued deeply!

🐾 Today, with the help of Jen from Stonewall Canine, we paired Darian, who serves in the Army National Guard and as a Holden Police Officer, and his fiancée Molly with K9 Jax.

They've been waiting for the right addition to their family, and Jax has already exceeded expectations.

The 22Mohawks Pups for Vets & First Responders Program is about more than pairing a dog. It's about building connection, strengthening protective factors, and providing a lifelong community of people who understand.

A special thank you to our friends at Rallyforpaws.org for sponsoring our Pups Program this year and helping make matches like this possible.

Welcome to the 22Mohawks family! 🐾

Earlier this week Dave and Stacey had the opportunity to present before the Waltham City Council about 22Mohawks Su***de Prevention Ecosystem.

A special thank you to Councilor Sean Durkee for the invitation and for his ongoing commitment to advancing mental health awareness throughout the Waltham community.

Through his leadership, important conversations are being brought to the forefront, helping connect residents with valuable resources and support services.

We were honored to join the many organizations that have presented to the Council on this critical issue, including the Waltham Police Department Jail Diversion Clinicians, The Edinburg Center's Potter Place, and REACH Beyond Domestic Violence.

By increasing awareness, encouraging open conversations, and ensuring people know where to turn for help, we can continue breaking down barriers and building stronger support systems for those who need them most.

Thank you to the Waltham City Council for providing a platform for these important discussions and for recognizing that mental health is community health.

Last week, Dave and Stacey had the privilege of visiting Temple Sinai in Sharon, MA, where students presented on three different nonprofits including 22Mohawks.

We were honored to learn that 22Mohawks was selected as the recipient of the funds raised through this meaningful project.

A heartfelt thank you to Jerri and Rabbi Joseph Meszler for inviting us, to the students who did an incredible job with their presentations, and to all the families who participated and supported the event.

Their Mitzvah Day was filled with service, compassion, and community spirit. We are grateful to have been a small part of such a special day and inspired by the next generation's commitment to making a difference.

Thank you, Temple Sinai, for your support of our mission and the veterans and first responders we serve. ❤️

The Jump Was Only the Beginning

Ryan Ferland’s story from Operation Valiant Belle captures what we are learning across our Airborne Operations Course & Retreats: veterans and first responders may come for the challenge, but they leave with connection, purpose, and a community that understands without explanation.

Proud to share this CQ-Group feature on Ryan’s story, 22Mohawks, X35, and the emerging lessons behind our work.
