In 2021 the Second Dragoons Firepit Foundation supported Awake Ministries (in a collaborative effort with Veterans Rural Outreach and CrossRoads Missions) as the group built a community of small houses for veterans in need in Shelbyville, KY. The donation was made in honor of Long Ridge Farm near Shelbyville, KY, where the Foundation had gathered for several board meetings.

We continued to track the progress of the Veterans Village and due to the positive impact in the community we made an additional contribution in 2024.
