We are asking for at least 50 volunteers to help work in our veteran center on November 11, 2019. We have a partnership with Rebuilding Together, a nonprofit with a Heroes at Home Program and Sears, our benevolent donor who will supply funding for some of the internal repairs, if MPMA finds the volunteers.
