CHAMBER OF COMMERCE NEWS
Spotlight February 2022
This month the Chamber of Commerce is putting the Spotlight on: NaturalBuildingOrg.com
Naturalbuildingorg is a 501c non-profit organization serving our Veterans and the planet. Cat Taylor founded her organization in 2018. The organization is Home to Cob Hill Natural Building School, which provides handson education and support to people wanting to learn how to build their own mortgage free sustainable homes.
All programs and workshops offered at Cob Hill help to fund our “Cob for Vets” program. Cob for Vets is one of our many Non-Profit Programs offered by Natural-BuildingOrg. This program is structured for our Veterans, either active duty, retired, or PTSD/Disabled.
The first stage - Providing a hands on education on how to build your own mortgage free home, utilizing natural materials on your own property.
This is offered to our Veterans at little or no cost, depending on their level of disability rating. Veterans experience many benefits from their time spent here, including; Team building skills, Sense of Community, Increased Self-worth/empowerment, Relief from depression and PTSD, and a renewed sense of pride.
The second stage - All Veterans that have attended a 10 day or longer workshop are automatically enrolled in our Lifetime of Learning. This offers a support system here at Cob Hill Natural Building School.
The third stage - Raise the Roof. Once a year we select a qualified Veteran that has successfully completed the first two stages of Cob for Vets Program. To qualify, an applicant must own their own land and they must be an honorably discharged veteran who is at least 90% disabled. NaturalBuildingOrg volunteers, alumni and the local community gather in a barn raising fashion to assist the Veteran build his/her family home. Our non-profit organization does not charge any labor and strives to cover the costs of as much of the materials and services as possible. This is accomplished by revenue from our program sponsors, donations and fund-raisers. As we grow we hope to be able to do more than one Raise the Roof per year! Cob Hill has several programs kicking off in 2022, including our “Cob Scouts” community service youth program, an arts and craft center, and a beautiful retreat for yoga and wellness.
