This fundraiser consists of our unit collecting clothes in our green DAV bins and hauling them into Savers. We are one out of the three units which participate in this program. Other fundraisers that we have are, a casino bus trip twice a year, an annual bake sale, and Barnes & Noble Christmas gift wrapping. We also assist our chapter with some of their fundraising thing like bagging groceries and the annual Forget-Me-Not drive.

Our Unit has an Adopt-A-Veteran program in which we currently have 7 nursing homes with close to 100 veterans in total. We buy holiday gifts for these veterans and send them birthday and holiday cards throughout the year. Another program is our pillowcases for the hospices patients at the Minneapolis VA Hospital. We help support the Anoka County Veterans food shelf as needed and financially support recreational programs for disabled veterans like the deer and turkey hunts held at Camp Ripley. Our unit also helps the five state veteran’s homes financially with their outdoor programs and many other veterans throughout the year with food and gas gift cards.

In 2017 Anoka County got a veterans transition home called the Eagles Healing Nest which our unit helped financially with the remodeling of the facilities and clothing for the veterans. There will be a total of three building when it is all done; one building for men, one for women, and one for families.

Our mission to help all veterans.

 

Unit 39 provided dinners for veterans and their families. We’ve been supported senior programs in Fridley Community the last 4 years providing them with information and resources. The important thing is that community get to know DAV and DAV auxiliary.

Many organizations have involved with this project. NSO and Chapter 39 (Scott Burndt) were there to help Vets.

At Minneapolis VA hospice Hospital, presented pillowcases to hospice charge nurse for Veterans.
