May 2022 Premier Firearms & Militaria Auction - Day 1

The Maine Veterans Project (MVP) was founded in July 2015 as a 100% volunteer, veteran-founded, veteran-managed suicide prevention organization serving veterans right here in Maine. MVP takes great pride in our ability to produce at the level of a larger corporate entity while maintaining our grass-roots foundation to ensure every dollar goes directly to programs and services.

Through partnerships with incredible Maine companies and the outstanding generosity of our many supporters, MVP embodies the team effort that goes into such an important cause. Through this team effort we are able to help with home improvement projects from small to large, provide reliable transportation through our vehicle donation program, provide thousands of gallons of home heating fuel through our partnership with RH Foster and an array of life-essential services available to Maine veterans. We are constantly meeting to improve current programs and establish new services where there is need.
