Each year the station partners with the Minnesota Assistance Council for Veterans, a local non-profit who works to end Veteran homelessness in their community. Last month, the campaign raised over $820K for Veterans in need and over $2.2 MILLION since the launch of the campaign in 2017.
Reporter Reg Chapman, also a Gulf War Veteran, has been crucial in sharing the stories of Veterans in the community and the impact a donation to MACV can make.
In addition to fundraising, WCCO also hosted a StandDown at Target Field for 200 Veterans who received vital services, support and a warm meal.
