Vietnam Veterans Workshop Inc.

The Midshipmen of the Boston NROTC Consortium are raising money to benefit New England Center and Home for Veterans, and any donation will help make an impact. 

More information about the New England Center and Home for Veterans: The Mission of the New England Center and Home for Veterans (NECHV) is to equip Veterans who are facing or at-risk of homelessness with the tools for economic self-sufficiency and to provide them a path to achieve successful and dignified independent living. Veterans from all eras and all military service are eligible for support, and a percentage of the Center's clients are not eligible for VA benefits because of the length or nature of their service. The population that the NECHV serves is both challenged and vulnerable, and providing an effective array of services in a robust facility will allow us to house and serve any Veterans in need. The ultimate goal is never to turn away a Veteran. The Center's population is comprised of 88% male and 12% female Veterans. An emerging need to serve female Veterans was recognized early on and specialized services and facilities are well established at the Center. With regard to age, the average age at the Center is 57, with Veterans living here ranging from 21 to 85. Throughout its history of service, the Center has evolved and adapted, growing and adding comprehensive case management, focused addiction services, and mental health services. The newest and most prominent need is for services for the frail and elderly. NECHV serves Veterans in need from every era including those from the current conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, regardless of where they lived or may travel from. Approximately 72% of Veterans served at the NECHV report Massachusetts as a last address, and the remaining 28% come from other U.S. states and territories.

Thanks in advance for your contribution to this cause.
