Our Mission
We launched the “Welcome Home Vets” program in June, 2016 to serve homeless veterans throughout the Minneapolis/St. Paul area and surrounding suburbs. We partner with the VA’s Community Resource and Referral Center (CRRC) to provide welcome home kits to veterans moving from homeless shelters into permanent housing.
While it is wonderful to find housing for these veterans, they often have nothing but the clothes on their back and thus are unable to furnish an apartment in which to live. Our program provides a “Welcome Home” kit that contains many of the items needed to have a fully functioning kitchen, bath and bedroom. Items include: microwave, dishes, glassware, silverware, pots and pans, basic kitchen utensils, sheets, blanket, comforter, bath towels, shower curtain, cleaning supplies, clock radio, floor lamp and more. We also provide a couple grocery bags of food to help stock the cupboard. The veterans receive a bed and furniture through another organization thus our focus is on items needed for day to day living tasks.
