Volunteer to make a lasting difference in the life of a veteran and their family.
Hands-on or behind-the-scenes, every hour invested helps a veteran in need move to a place of stability.
Whether you are a veteran or community member, your help will make a difference. Scroll down to learn more about our needs and opportunities for both veterans and community members.
Drivers: The veterans we work with sometimes need a ride to make important appointments. MVN needs volunteer drivers across the State. In most cases, MVN will provide a $25 gas gift card to cover the expense.
Mentors: After we help a veteran through a crisis, it is important to stay in touch with them to ensure they know help is still available. Mentors are not caseworkers, but someone for a veteran to talk to. Our mentors provide support and help when caseworkers are not be available.
Legal Advisor: While PTL (Pine Tree Legal Assistance) is contracted to help veterans with various legal issues, they don’t have the staff to handle all cases. And, there are some cases they aren’t contracted to support. MVN needs legal support volunteers to assist veterans in obtaining affordable legal services, in most cases, pro bono.
Please contact Ryan Tuttle by email. Ryan coordinates our financial planning support for veterans.
Fundraiser: We need support for event-planning and hands-on execution; also non-government grant research, writing and /or reporting.
MVN relies on individual donors, grants and community support to accomplish its mission. We do not accept government funding.

This review is for Maine Veterans In Need! I am Timothy Majeroni! An Army and Marine Corp Veteran with a Service Connected Disability. I was in a financial situation and needed fuel for my mobile home. Maine Veterans In Need helped me without question.
I am a Combat Veteran with PTSD and I struggle at times making appropriate and proportionate decisions. For the past 2 years Maine Veterans In Need, along with their associated organization, Maine Veterans Project, have gone above and beyond to help me.
Everyone associated is essential and necessary professionally, respectful, trustworthy, friendly and very helpful. I am beyond grateful and appreciate Maine Veterans In Need and everyone associated with these Awesome Veteran organizations who haven’t and don’t forget US. The American Veteran.
Timothy Majeroni, Army & Marine Corp. Veteran
Thank you for supporting Maine veterans.
Every hour you give has a direct impact on a struggling veteran and their family. Whether you have just a few hours here and there or can help more regularly, your time and talents will make a difference.
MVN offers a wide range of volunteer opportunities, so there’s always a place where your skills are needed. Once you reach out to Dave Patch, MVN President, he’ll provide a short overview of the organization, answer any questions, and discuss your interests and level of commitment.
New volunteers are invited to join our monthly meetings—either via Zoom or in person at our Brunswick office—to meet the team and get connected. You’ll quickly discover that MVN volunteers and partners are a dedicated, welcoming group united by a shared mission.
We look forward to hearing from you and welcoming you to the MVN team.
