Nonprofit Overview
Mission: Veap is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, multi-service, human service organization with the mission of "together, we create pathways to stronger, more hopeful, communities through access to healthy food, housing stability and supportive services. "
Programs: Food program - please see schedule o

children & youth services program - please see schedule o
transporation services -this program which provided rides to seniors to medical appointments was discontinued in 2017 and re-focused to providing access to healthy foods. This re-focus includes a shuttle to and from the veap pantry from a low-income senior housing facility in edina; increasing rides home from the food pantry; increasing food deliveries for homebound seniors; and the mobile food pantry. In addition, veap's holiday toy program was discontinued in part because it did not fit within our program focus areas and the realization that during the toy program, veap was not able to accommodate all food pantry appointment requests. Veap's back to school school supply drive was also modified. Veap will continue to collect school supplies which it will then give directly to the schools for distribution. All clients that were impacted by these changes received support and referrals to other programs through veap's social services staff.
