Accomplishments
VEAP serves Bloomington, Edina, Richfield and South Minneapolis and the 2007-2009 Census update shows that 81% caucasian, 6% African American, 6% Hispanic Latino, 5% Asian and less then 3% other. A recent client survey at VEAP shows that 31% of those served were Hispanic, 26% Caucasian, 20% African American and 4% Asian. VEAP's services also mirrored the Census employment information in that more then half of our clients are employed and simply not able to makes end meet on a low wage salary. Census update shows that 30% of residents are in sales or hospitality, 17% office administration and 8% unemployed and thus earning low or minimum wage.
Current Goals
VEAP will continue to work with clients, volunteers, staff, and other stakeholders in the community to evaluate the progress and success of VEAP’s programs and to ensure VEAP fulfills its neighbors serving neighbors mission and accomplishes its goals to prevent hunger, support stability, and ultimately improve the lives of people in the community.
