Merchandise
Eventually we will open a store page and have merchandise for sale that promotes VETERANch. We want to be selling merchandise that is not only designed in America(it is in our head, so this part is easy) but from American companies (this is harder), making their products in the USA(this is the hardest part for some merchandise). Shirts and outerwear from American companies have gotten away with rebranding the Made in the USA label to a Made in America label, because they are technically made in the Americas(North, Central, South). If something we offer is made in the Americas, it will be be in the description as such but we will be trying 100% to make sure it is made in the USA. Once we have the screen printing presses at VETERANch, the veterans will learn screen printing and then shipping from VETERANch. Printing our horse logo onto rounded objects will come later when we are able to buy those kind of printing presses and then we will be teaching computer designing to merchandise. Teaching, training, learning, designing, receiving base product, taking orders, production and then shipping orders are just one line of jobs that can be taught to homeless veterans, so they have a set of new skills and employ-ability and even new business ideas for re-homed veterans. Some of the ideas for our logo merchandise are.
Shirts all types, Jackets and hoodies, Challenge coins, Coffee cups, Thermal containers.
Beside our merchandise, homeless veterans who use our wood and metal fabrication shop to create their own crafts and designs will have the option to sell their items on the website and then we can teach them how to make their own online order website to become their own boss and support themselves when they become re-homed. When a veteran uses the fabrication shop to make items to sell, they will get all the profit but they will be responsible for buying the materials needed to create their product.
