A special thanks to MDVA partners at MACV for the following guest blog
Minnesota Assistance Council for Veterans’ mission is to End Veteran Homelessness by providing housing, employment and legal services. We accomplish our mission by providing these services directly and in collaboration with community partners.
This year, in partnership with WCCO-TV | CBS Minnesota and the Minnesota Twins, we had an opportunity to provide a Home for the Holidays meal for our homeless Veterans with onsite supportive services to bring them back into housing stability. WCCO also partnered with MACV to raise funds via multiple telethons to aid in the sponsorship of a female Veterans home and finally provided a homeless Veteran family with a tree, ornaments and gifts. This family is currently living in our newest family transitional house.
MACV is a 501 (c) 3 nonprofit that has been serving Veterans and their families who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless across the state of Minnesota for over 25 years. We achieve our mission through strong community partnerships and donations from community members just like you. To learn more about MACV, please visit the MACV website.
