They also assist with employment, medical issues, and veteran service. Faith Missions provides meals and shelter for homeless people, including many US Veterans. We have also partnered with Faith Missions in Columbus, Ohio. River Walking Sticks sells high-end custom walking sticks, hiking sticks, walking staffs, walking canes and embed authentic vintage military emblems into the wooden walking sticks and canes. That's when River Walking Sticks was born! I was excited to hire Paul and a few other veterans. I started thinking of a way to help Paul continually and other veterans. On my drive home, I was thinking that I needed to do more. He smiled and said, "You have a deal." A few days later, I showed up, and the sticks were finished and looked amazing. I immediately tried to make him feel comfortable and said, "Tell you what, If you're interested, I would love to hire you to sand and varnish these walking sticks I found today. He seemed embarrassed and ashamed to accept it. Before leaving, I reached in my pocket and pulled out some money to give to him. The man eventually opened up and told me his name was Paul, and he was a homeless US Military Veteran living in his car.
I approached him, and we started to chat about walking sticks and how much fun it was to finish them. One day while looking for sticks, I noticed a man sitting on the river bank with his car parked behind him full of his belongings.
The sticks can travel down river for miles and even years making them unique. I find it relaxing and it clears my mind to walk the river bank and look for that perfect walking stick to sand and varnish. Over the past few years, I have been looking for walking sticks down by the Scioto River.
