Help R Heroes offers free in-person crafting classes to give veterans community, work, and a chance at their own business.
Help R Heroes, a 501(c)(3) non-profit, has joined forces with US Vets and the North Las Vegas Veterans and Community Center to offer artisan crafting classes this month.
All materials, equipment and instruction are provided to veterans free of charge.
Gary Scaife, a Vietnam War Navy veteran, knows that veterans face PTSD, alienation, and feeling alone. Additionally, some veterans may face financial struggles. He founded Help R Heroes in 2021 to offer crafting classes to veterans.
“Veterans are able to use their hands and their minds again, as part of a group. It gives them a purpose. And the business gives them a direction,” says Mr. Scaife.
Woodworking classes will take place on August 27, 2025, at US Vets, 525 E Bonanza Road, Las Vegas, NV 89101. Class will begin at 10 a.m.
Tile and decollage classes will take place August 26, 2025, at City of North Las Vegas Veterans and Community Resource Center, 3090 E Centennial Pkwy, North Las Vegas, NV 89081. Class begins at 2:30 p.m.
Veterans can register at helprheroes.charity. Non-veterans can support the organization by purchasing veteran-crafted goods at https://shop.madeinnevada.org/vendor/vet-made/
