Winter Wish Project is back for 2024 and better than ever!

MVA’s Winter Wish Project was born out of the COVID-19 pandemic that disproportionately impacted the minority veteran community. Thanks to the incredible generosity of supporters and sponsors, we've served hundreds of families through our Winter Wish Project. Across the country, people have been feeling the impact of inflation and rising costs of nearly everything. This Winter Wish Project we'll be asking our families to complete Amazon wishlists for all their winter items and gear. That's where we need your help! For every $200 we raise, Minority Vets can support an additional minority veteran family! 100% of all donations raised will be used to support families.

The deadline to contribute is Tuesday, December 10th so don't wait!

In case you needed more reasons to support, here are just a few of the notes from of our past recipients:

“I would like to thank the Minority Vets team and Winter Wish supporters. This has been a blessing in disguise. 2022 has been a tough year and we felt so defeated. I didn’t expect to be selected, so this whole experience caught me by surprise. I couldn’t help but cry with tears of joy. My husband and I have been struggling silently. This act of kindness was a beautiful way to end the year. We can’t wait to see the excitement our children will have. This year is special because this is our first Christmas with our newest child (pre-teen) to the family. Thank you so much!”

“I would like to thank you for helping me & my family during this difficult time. As a single mother raising four children alone it’s been extremely hard. Thank you for your support.”

“I have a lot of pride and it’s hard to get myself to admit to needing the help but even harder to ask because of the judgments and things like questions and stuff afterwards. With this program, I felt I didn’t have to explain over and over again and feel the judgment at all. I felt nothing but love and support and I can’t wait for my kiddos to wake up to this miracle you were all able to achieve. I cannot thank you enough!!”

“I have a heart full of gratitude and I keep telling myself that it is time to receive graciously; and that it is okay to do so. I have been on the side of giving but rarely receiving. Thank you for your generous hearts and you can be assured I plan to pay it forward.”

Winter Wish Project is brought to you through the generous support of our members and community.
