Happy Veterans Day! 🇺🇸🇺🇸

Did you know that there are roughly 19 MILLION veterans living in the United States?
In Minnesota, Dakota county has the second largest population of veterans in the state. We are especially grateful for these local veterans who have so honorably served us- now it is our turn to serve them!

Please consider volunteering for an upcoming event with Eagan BTYR. All future events can be found on our website and page.

Thank you to our local heroes!

UPCOMING EVENT: Thanksgiving Meal Shopping

On Thursday, November 13th, at 7:00 pm, we will shop for groceries at Walmart in Eagan to build Thanksgiving meal kits for 20 National Guard soldiers and their families.

Volunteers will meet at the front of the store and will then form small teams to fill their cart with items on an assigned shopping list. The shopping list calls out items, quantities, and aisle locations. It will take 40 minutes, including packaging the meal kits inside the store before we leave.

We pay for all of the purchases. You help us shop and assemble!

With times being tough for so many families, we are very pleased to provide these meal kits (each kit includes a $30 gift card to purchase a turkey) for those needing a bit of assistance.

Please visit our website or use the following link to register to volunteer for this event: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0E4BA9A82CABFECE9-60073183-thanksgiving #/

For all of our new followers, we'd like to share a bit more about Eagan Beyond the Yellow Ribbon!

Beyond the Yellow Ribbon is a Minnesota-based initiative focused on connecting service members, veterans, and their families with community support and resources. We are a comprehensive program that coordinates efforts between various organizations to meet the needs of the military community, encompassing support before, during, and after deployment.

The Eagan BTYR chapter serves active duty service members, veterans, and their families in the Eagan/Rosemount area. We provide assistance such as rent and utility payments, car repairs, food and gas cards, and emergency household needs. Additionally, we wish to provide scholarships for veterans, care packages for deploying students and local veterans, holiday meals, and support for first responders.

When a military family or veteran faces hardship, we can respond quickly with meaningful help—keeping our community strong and ensuring no one who has served is left behind.

These efforts are only possible with the help of Eagan community members and local organizations. If you or someone you know would like to get involved with Eagan Beyond the Yellow Ribbon, please visit out website at eaganbtyr.org and stay tuned for future posts about events and volunteer opportunities! With your help, we can fulfill our mission of serving those who have so honorably served us.
