VEAP
About
In the early 1970s, a small group of churches in Richfield and South Minneapolis that delivered Meals on Wheels became increasingly concerned about the poor and deteriorating living conditions of seniors in their community. This along with other societal issues mobilized a group of 13 Bloomington and Richfield churches to band together and in 1974, VEAP was formed. Over its first years, VEAP provided a variety of programs with many of them focused on meeting the needs of the elderly including food deliveries, snow shoveling and basic handyman services. These programs evolved to focus on Food & Basic Needs and Social Services programs active today.
Mission
