Fergus Falls, MN – Once again, local Veterans organizations are supporting the Fergus Falls Veterans Home and its Residents through generous donations.
For several years now, the Disabled American Veterans (DAV) Fergus Falls Chapter 25 has funded the cost of Wi-Fi and cable television at the Home, allowing the Residents to enjoy connections to the online world and the expanded cable TV programming. The 2025 annual pledge of more than $30,000 was recently fulfilled with a final donation of more than $15,000.
Boots on the Ground, founded in 2014 to honor Veteran Residents at the Home, recently donated $40,000. The organization raises funds through a sole event which takes place on the third Saturday of September each year at the Fergus Falls Veterans of Foreign Wars. The Home will use the funds to support several services including:
- New Bingo Machine: $5,680
- Resident Haircuts: $15,000
- Residents Arts Program: $10,000
- Recreation Fund: $9,320
The Fergus Falls Veterans Home thanks DAV Fergus Falls Chapter 25 and Boots on the Ground for their ongoing generous donations.
