Walter Reed Army Medical Center - Warriors in Transition Support
Serving our Wounded Warriors and their Familites
MCW is supporting the Walter Reed Army Medical Center Arts & Craft Center efforts to develop and deliver turning demonstrations, classes, workshops and mentoring support to wounded warriors and their families who are being cared for by either the Walter Reed Army Hospital or the Bethesda Naval Medical Center.
The Arts & Craft Center, part of the garrison facilites organization, is located at the Glen Forest Annex in Silver Springs, MD. It's mission is to serve the local military community including families through a variety of arts & crafts facilities and offerings. Classes, workshops, instruction and various facilities that support woodworking, ceramics and photography are available.
The Arts & Crafts Center Woodshop staff is expanding its capabilities to support wounded warriors and their families by developing and offering demonstrations, workshops, mentoring support and disablement-friendly resources while our wounded warriors complete their recovery and while their families may be locally resident.
