VEAP's Mission:
Neighbors serving neighbors in need.
Improving the lives of people in the community .
We strive to provide financial, emotional and physical support to low-income individuals and families living in our community. VEAP's programs are designed to meet both the present and projected needs of low-income, elderly and disabled citizens. We respond to the needs of hunger, poverty, disability, isolation and the ongoing effects of these conditions through our programs: Food, Seasonal, (Back To School, Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas) Social Services and Transportation.
VEAP fulfills its mission through donations of money, goods and volunteer services coordinated by a professional staff, which creates a neighbor serving neighbor program and strengthens the community as a whole. Each year over 1000 volunteers with support from Businesses, Faith Communities, Foundations, Government, Individuals, Organizations and Schools work together improving the lives of people in our community.

Geographic Area
