In 2018 the apartment was upgraded. Old insulation, wiring and lighting was removed and replaced and new lighting installed; fresh drywall, new flooring, new laundry space and appliances and new kitchen appliances and cupboards were installed. In 2020 an additional room was added.
The gazebo that served as a hospitality, picnic area for many years was in need of some major repair; and the need for a space to serve as a private, convenient Veterans’ Office is being cared for by recreating the Gazebo to accommodate climate-controlled office space for Providers and Participants of our Equine Assisted Therapy Program.
The reconstruction of a stall and the Veterans’ Office has been a work in progress for several months. COVID-19 has played havoc with completion and the scheduling of an opening day.
Building Bridges Foundation’s growth is dependent upon its many volunteers. Logan and Elizabeth Ditzler, Farm Operations Assistants, welcome volunteers to help them keep the barn, horse shelters, barn yards and pastures welcoming to guests and participants at all times.
Every season brings grounds care needs! Day lily conservation, Iris bulb conservation, 90 rose bushes, five peach trees, blueberry plants, beautiful green shrub plants and perennials benefit from willing gardening hands.
Coming together to make great things happen!
We offer equine-assisted therapy services for military members and their families. Our goal is to bridge the gap between military service and civilian life through the healing power of horses. Join us in our mission to support and empower our military community.
