About Us

VEAP (Volunteers Enlisted to Assist People) founders believed that helping a neighbor in need ultimately strengthens the community. VEAP has been operating under this principle for over 40 years, providing a range of services to help low-income people meet immediate needs and reach their long-term goal of stability. Today, VEAP serves the residents of south Hennepin County utilizing a unique mix of professional and volunteer services. VEAP's Mission: Together we create pathways to stronger, more hopeful communities through access to healthy food, housing stability, and supportive services. VEAP's Vision: A thriving community where all are free to pursue their dreams!
