Helping veterans
& families first

Welcome to Apple Valley Beyond the Yellow Ribbon
Who are we?<br>How can we help?

Welcome to our website!

We are excited to have our new website up-and-running. Everything we had on our old website is here, but we'll also be adding more now that we have the ability to do so ourselves.

What you'll find:

  • News & Events will be posted on the home page, so no digging. 
  • More detail on who we are and the services we provide.
  • A proper thanks to our sponsors, complete with logos and links to their websites. If you're interested in becoming a sponsor, please contact us.
  • Not only are upcoming monthly dinners and meetings listed on the home page, you can now see a full list of meetings scheduled in the About section as well as future dinners (along with meals planned) in the What We Do section.
  • ...and more!

If you have any questions, see anything we might have missed, or just want to tell us how much you love our new website, let us know. We'd LOVE to hear from you!

Thank you!

You made it possible!

We'd like to take a moment to thank all of our donors and volunteers who helped us fulfill many requests for assistance in the last couple of months. Needs included:

  • Recently assisted a Veteran and his family with a fuel card & groceries. 
  • Assisted another Vet obtaining a wheel chair adapted van. 
  • Provided four scholarships for students at Dakota Technical College 
  • Assisted with a house payment. 
  • Helped with the Welcome Home Vietnam War Veterans Breakfast at the Legion

We couldn't have done it without you!

Special Thanks to our Donors

The success of the Apple Valley Beyond the Yellow Ribbon mission to serve the military community depends on the generosity of many. We thank the many local businesses, groups and individuals who have donated their time, space and financial support. At the risk of unintentionally omitting a donor, we especially thank the following.
