Caribou, ME, Farm of Hope Helping Homeless Veterans

"Just three years ago, United Veterans of Maine President John DeVeau had the idea of creating a homeless shelter where veterans could work on-site and sustain themselves. Now, that shelter has become a reality and as of this month roughly 10 homeless veterans and members of veteran families have successfully transitioned from the facility to obtain homes and jobs.

"The Dahlgren-Skidgel Farm of Hope, named after two local Congressional Medal of Honor recipients, is now fully equipped to house six individual homeless veterans in three duplexes with one cabin designed for families."

A recent Bangor Daily News article profiled the Dahlgren-Skidgel Farm of Hope and its work.
