Silver Eagle Project
The Silver Eagle Project is a unique hands-on program designed with Retired-Aerospace Employees and Veterans in mind.
Located in our spacious five-bay workshop, older adults can enjoy hands-on, engaging projects designed to foster purpose, creativity, and connection. From metalworking and airplane building to simply relaxing and socializing in our welcoming “man cave,” there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
The Silver Eagle workshop is open
Monday -Thursday, 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM
with easy access for all participants.
Whether your loved one is an experienced craftsman or just curious to try something new, they’re invited to join at their own pace in a comfortable, supportive environment.
