As the plight of so many disabled veterans continues to effect their professional lives and their ability to make ends meet, organizations like the The Disabled Veterans National Foundation have done everything they can to help these vets make ends meet. On October 29th, the DVNF helped to deliver supplies from a full load of a semi truck, with a value estimated at $145,000.
"This project stretched our resources beyond our normal capacities," said Jacob Roberson with Volunteers of America who arranged for the donation. "Volunteers of America is grateful to our partners North East Mobile Health Services, one of New England's largest and most respected providers of medical transportation services, whose donation made it possible to ship, store and distribute these goods to needed veterans. In addition, reVision heat, a company that helps Mainers transition away from fossil fuels, donated trucks and drivers to make the deliveries possible." Both are Maine companies.
The donated goods being delivered by The Disabled Veterans National Foundation are being shipped to veterans at multiple locations across the state, including the Togus Stand Down event on Oct. 29 in Augusta.
Other distribution sites include Volunteers of America's veterans' programs, additional veterans' programs across the state and the VA Maine Health Care System. Cumberland Self Storage located at 14 Maine Street at Fort Andross in Brunswick donated the storage space needed for the large shipment.
Volunteers of America Northern New England is a national, non-profit, spiritually based organization providing local human service programs and opportunities for individual and community involvement.
Volunteers of America is one of the nation's largest nonprofit providers of affordable housing for low-income seniors, families and persons with disabilities. Additional information is available on our website at www.voanne.org.
The Disabled Veterans National Foundation exists to change the lives of men and women who came home wounded or sick after defending our safety and our freedom. It is headquartered in Washington, D.C.
