WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Disabled Veterans National Foundation (www.dvnf.org), a non-profit veterans service organization that focuses on helping men and women who serve and return home wounded or sick after defending our safety and our freedom, is delivering approximately $59,286 worth of furniture, bookcases, chairs and desks to the Maryland Center for Veterans Education and Training (www.mcvet.org).
The MCVET, founded in 1993, was designed to provide homeless veterans and other veterans in need with comprehensive services that will help them rejoin their communities as productive citizens. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development has recognized MCVET as a national model for seamless services to homeless veterans.
“Supporting the Maryland Center for Veterans Education and Training fits our mission of helping our nation’s homeless veterans,” said Raegan Rivers, Chief Administrative Officer of DVNF. “Across the country, through our nearly two million donors, we are delivering needed supplies and goods to veteran service organizations like this one in Maryland. The help is needed and we know it is working to provide the services our heroes need in order to adjust and work to rejoin productive lives as civilians.”
The shipments being made by the DVNF nationally will include furniture, blankets, fleece jackets, clothing, hats, food, water, shoes and personal hygiene products. Already in 2012, DVNF has shipped more than $500,000 worth of supplies to groups and events in several states.
