How you can contribute to the building of the Preston veterans home!
While the hope is to build a 72-bed home, the local donations made by September 25, 2018 will dictate the size and amenities of the facility.
Donations made by this date will be matched 2:1 by the Federal Veterans Administration.
The veterans home will be a skilled nursing care facility with up to 72-beds (depending on the amount of donations)
and will be the first and only in Southeastern Minnesota. The cost of the facility will be $30+ million.
Most veterans left their communities behind to serve their country.
Having veteran homes in Greater Minnesota ensures our veterans don’t again need to leave their communities to get the care they deserve.
