APEX Block Partners With The Veterans Ranch

As a homeowner, you understand the importance of having a safe and stable place to call home. For many veterans transitioning out of military service, finding adequate housing can be an overwhelming challenge as they work to rebuild their lives as civilians. That is why partnerships between organizations like Apex Block and The Veterans Ranch are so vital. The Veterans Ranch will be able to build new APEX Block constructed, short-term occupied homes on their property, providing shelter and a foundation for a fresh start for deserving veterans. These stay form sustainable, advanced “Green Technology” blocks will be instrumental in building homes and rebuilding hope, empowering our Veterans to construct themselves on site!!!

Introducing Our New Partnership With the Veterans Ranch

Apex Block is dedicated to strengthening communities and tackling social challenges. We are proud to announce an exciting new “APEX block “JOINT VENTURE PARTICIPANT PROGRAM” with The Veterans Ranch, an organization committed to helping veterans cope with PTSD and other service-related disabilities through equine therapy and vocational rehabilitation, shaping their lives and future with confidence.

Providing Hope and Healing

The Veterans Ranch assists disabled and at-risk veterans and Gold Star Families in overcoming PTSD and physical injuries through interaction with horses. Equine therapy has been shown to help reduce symptoms of PTSD like anxiety, depression, and isolation. The Ranch provides vocational and life skills training to help Veterans successfully reintegrate into civilian life.  They will have the ability to train, becoming APEX Block Certified Installers and Consultants, furthering their individual growth, financial opportunities and shaping communities “one block at a time.” TM

Apex Block will be providing financial and operational support to The Veterans Ranch so they can continue their important work, expanding over time with the expected success based on our continued positive results. Funds and resources from Apex Block will help The Veterans Ranch assist more Veterans through equine therapy and vocational rehabilitation programs. Further growth and value for the participants, will also allow for facility upgrades and help attract high-quality staff.

A Shared Vision

Apex Block and The Veterans Ranch share a vision of stronger, healthier communities. By supporting veterans and Gold Star Families, we aim to tackle issues like poverty, lack of resources for disabled individuals, and the challenges of reintegrating into society after military service, and self-empowerment. The Veterans Ranch has already helped hundreds of Veterans, and with the added support of Apex Block, will be able to positively impact the lives of many more.

Through this meaningful program, Apex Block reaffirms its historical commitment to corporate social responsibility. We believe businesses have a duty to strengthen communities in sustainable, impactful ways. Supporting the important work of The Veterans Ranch is one way we are fulfilling that responsibility. Apex Block is very honored to support The Veterans Ranch and the Veterans they serve. This joint participation will change lives by providing hope, healing, and opportunity, and a future of these Veterans giving back even more.

How We Will Support the Mission

Apex Block will donate a percentage of sales from the private label APEX Block “Valor Series” program to directly fund the Veterans Ranch’s programs and daily operations. Our donation will help provide:

  • Equine therapy and other healing workshops. Interacting with horses helps Veterans work through trauma in a gentle, non-judgmental way. Workshops on topics like gardening, horsemanship, and ranch work and way of life can teach coping strategies and help rebuild confidence.
  • A safe place to call home. The Veterans Ranch provides room and board for Veterans in need of a supportive environment. Our donation will help cover costs like housing, meals, and amenities to create a comfortable living space for residents.
  • Opportunities to serve again. Caring for the Ranch’s animals and crops gives Veterans a renewed sense of purpose. By donating supplies and funding for the Ranch’s agricultural and husbandry programs, we help provide meaningful work that contributes to the community.
  • Increased PTSD awareness. The Veterans Ranch works to combat the stigma around PTSD and mental health issues facing Veterans. Our donation will support their efforts to educate the public through community outreach and promote understanding and compassion.

We believe that every Veteran deserves support. By partnering with and donating to the Veterans Ranch, Apex Block continues to give back to those who have sacrificed so much, as they have in other communities, such as the “Saving Grace Animal Shelter”, “Klamath Outdoor Science School”, “Churches”, and MORE. Together, we can build homes and rebuild hope, one APEX block at a time, with Veterans leading the way, by example.
