OUR

MISSION & VALUES

MISSION: Developing  communities of care for veteran and military families living in South Dakota.

Contributions are used to facilitate connections within a statewide network of local partners. Together, we strive to create a better world for these families, and we thank all of you for helping us to achieve that goal. 

Brief History

Community Action for Veterans (the CAV) was originally established in 2015 as an offshoot initiative of the MILVETS (military and veterans) committee of the Sioux Falls Area Chamber of Commerce. We found initial success by coordinating special events focused on veteran and military family health and wellness. Many of our event partners continue to engage with us for strategic planning sessions, participate in committee meetings, and serve in an advisory capacity to improve outcomes for military-connected individuals  across South Dakota.
