2023 Aim to End Veteran Homelessness
Please join Affordable Housing Initiatives (AHI) on Friday, October 13, 2023, 1:00 to 6:00 PM for the 7th annual Aim to End Veteran Homelessness European Pheasant Shoot.
AHI will host the event which has raised over $97,000 with your help towards their mission of giving back to the homeless and our Veterans. With your support, AHI has provided Veterans at Linden Grove Veteran Apartments gift cards, bus tickets, groceries & household items and provided gift cards to homeless individuals and families in Roseville, Maple Grove, St. Cloud, St. Michael, Plymouth, Shakopee & St. Paul.
For this years’ event, AHI is partnering with Place of Hope Ministries who provides Central MN with crisis management, supportive services, food, medical care & clothing including to our Veterans. Much of the money raised for this year’s event will help complete major roof repairs at the Place of Hope food center.
AHI has sponsorship & hunt opportunities available. As a sponsor, your Company name & logo will have great visibility with its placement on all communications/promotional items. You will also receive recognition on the event website with a link to your company website & your company will be recognized at the event. Know that your dollars are staying local to Minnesota and are directly benefiting Veterans!
You are invited to the classic European bird hunt which fills up very quickly. The event includes the hunt, great prize drawings & dinner. Please use the link below to sign up for the hunt and/or sponsorship opportunities.
