  • Honor Gardens/Greenhouse & OSU Master Gardening & Central Ohio Bee Association (COBA)

    The M.A.S.H. Veterans Honor Gardens Program was launched in the spring of 2021. We are thrilled to have personally selected three locations to participate in this grassroots initiative.


    At the start, M.A.S.H. lacked the necessary funds to purchase professional-grade greenhouses, so we opted for lower-quality options to get started. While Harbor Freight Greenhouses were the only affordable option at the time, their quality couldn't withstand the elements, and unfortunately, the funding we hoped for never materialized.


    Despite these challenges, the program has provided veterans with an opportunity to grow healthy foods, experience a sense of purpose by nurturing seeds into thriving plants, and bond with fellow veterans through shared labor and conversations—ultimately enjoying the fruits of their hard work. This has proven to be a therapeutic experience for all involved.


    Additionally, the benefits extend beyond gardening: participating veterans enjoy a boost to their immune systems, improved connections with others, enhanced self-esteem, reduced stress, a full-body workout, and the uplifting effects of soaking in sunlight. Above all, it helps them stay grounded.


    We are also proud to be partnering with Ohio State University and the Central Ohio Beekeepers Association (COBA) through the Veterans Beekeeping School. Our goal is to provide veterans with valuable resources that promote a healthy, sustainable lifestyle, benefiting not only them but also the broader community.

  • Statewide Give

    M.A.S.H. organizes a statewide give annually. During this event, statewide fraternal organizations (AMVETS, VFW, American Legion, Moose, Elk, and more) may pick up supplies to distribute to their homebound and local veterans. This initiative strengthens community bonds and ensures essential resources reach those in need.

  • Dan & Lily Lashelle Scholarship Fund:
