If you missed our club meeting earlier this week, we had a great discussion with Michele Orpin, Director of Development at Veterans Community Project - Kansas City! Michele shared the awesome work their organization is doing for homeless Veterans here in the Kansas City area. Michele also shared that VCP is currently expanding throughout the United States, with a goal of being in 8 cities by end of 2022!
VCP started here in Kansas City in 2016. They currently have 49 homes, located in Kansas City, MO. Each home accommodates a Veteran, as well as a pet (4 of the 49 homes are designed for families). Homes are completely furnished with new appliances and furniture, which Veterans get to take with them when they leave. Each Veteran has access to a community center where they can socialize with other community Veterans.
