“When I was homeless and needed help getting back on my feet, MVN assisted me with all my needs from clothes and furniture to transportation. I am back on feet due to the generosity and pride that MVN takes on helping veterans like me.”
Thank you for supporting Maine veterans.
As a nonprofit organization, we rely on the generosity of donors like you to ensure that Maine veterans in need, in emergency, or in crisis get the help they need quickly and efficiently.
MVN is available 24 / 7. That means when other service organizations are closed, we can respond to a veteran experiencing an emergency that cannot wait.
Please note that by accepting NO government funding, we are able to respond to each veteran without the contraints often tied to government grants and funding. Our commitment to being both flexible and available is only possible thanks to our volunteers and donors.
Your support goes directly to helping each veteran in need who contacts us. Our Services Page outlines the various ways that we respond each time we get a text, phone call or e-mail.
Please visit our About Page to learn more about our mission and the challenges that confront our Veterans – including homelessness and sometimes suicide.

Thank you for supporting Maine veterans.
Many of us know—either through our own families or the stories passed down through generations—the sacrifices our veterans have made. From grandparents who served in World War I or II to the men and women returning home from service today, each carries experiences that shape their lives long after they leave the military.
Only in recent years have we begun to truly understand the depth of those experiences. The challenges faced by today’s veterans—housing instability, difficulty accessing benefits, mental health struggles, and the daily fight to rebuild civilian life—are often overwhelming. No one who served our country should have to face these battles alone.
Your support of MVN changes that.
You help bridge the gaps in a system that too often leaves veterans waiting, searching, or struggling to be seen. You give veterans in Maine a real chance to find stability, support, and hope for the future.
Your generosity does more than provide services—it restores dignity, opens doors, and reminds our veterans that their community stands with them.
Thank you for making this life-changing work possible.
Together, we can ensure every Maine veteran has the opportunity to thrive.
Employment: Difficulty finding a job that matches their skills or dealing with unemployment.
Homelessness: A disproportionate number of homeless individuals are veterans, often due to mental illness, substance abuse, or inability to secure housing.
Identity and purpose: Struggles to find a new identity and sense of purpose after leaving the structure and title of the military.
Routine and structure: Adjusting to the absence of the familiar military routine.
Family and social connections: Difficulty reconnecting with family and re-adjusting to civilian social structures.
Navigating services: Difficulty accessing and navigating the complex system of veteran services and benefits.
Stigma: The stigma surrounding mental health and asking for help can prevent veterans from seeking needed treatment.
Lack of tailored education: Difficulty finding educational programs that cater to their specific needs and experiences.

Depression and anxiety: These mental health conditions are prevalent among veterans.
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI): Injuries from combat that can result in cognitive impairments and other long-term issues.
Chronic pain and physical injuries: Veterans may face physical handicaps, amputations, or chronic pain that can impact their quality of life.
Substance use disorders: Alcohol and drug use can be a coping mechanism for underlying mental health issues.
