Impact and Programs
Accomplishments
The Foundation has continued to support outdoor and adaptive sports programs that provide Veteran recreational therapy through events to positively engage Veterans, increase their strength and endurance, and ultimately enhance their quality of life. The Transportation Program provides free transportation to Veterans to attend their medical appointments. This program has reduced the transportation barrier many veterans experience in attending medical appointments. Last year 23,703 veterans were transported to appointments. Veterans face many challenges navigating the transition from military service. The Foundation supports programs that provide assistance with employment, homelessness, aging and this past year has made a concerted effort to support veterans facing food insecurity.
Current Goals
We are looking to increase our reach in food insecurity, services for families of disabled Veterans, outdoor adventure activities for veterans with disabilities and barriers to access. All of these do not detract from our focus on maintaining the premier Veterans Transportation Network in the country with the anticipated replacement of eight vehicles in the DAV MN fleet.
