We envision a bright and impactful future for Wooden Boats For Veterans. Our location in the Bay Area can grow with additional boats that can be donated and refurbished by veterans. These boats and their crews of veterans can be deployed for more missions of service and workforce development. The quality of life for more veterans in the bay area and Delta can be a reality. This can lead to additional WBFV chapters in other areas of California with bays, rivers, and lakes. WBFV will continue to build impact and deliver valuable service in the following ways:
Thank you for your support of our mission to give back to the veterans and future veterans who have sacrificed to defend our nation.
