Programs and Initiatives at VEAP

Lisa Horn is the new chief executive of Volunteers Enlisted to Assist People (VEAP), a nonprofit that provides a range of services to low-income families and individuals in Bloomington, Edina, Richfield and south Minneapolis. Horn was previously executive director of the Open Door, a hunger relief organization with locations in Eagan and Lakeville. VEAP operates the largest food shelf in Minnesota, serving approximately 10,000 individuals every month, and delivers its programs with the support of over 1,900 volunteers.

Horn earned a master of public affairs degree from the Hubert H. Humphrey Institute at the University of Minnesota. Her graduate work concentrated on public administration and nonprofit management with an emphasis in strategic planning.

“Lisa brings incredible energy and entrepreneurial spirit to VEAP. She has the rare talent to harness an organization’s capacity and couple it with internal and external opportunities for broad, collective community impact,” according to John Mitchell, a VEAP board member. “Lisa is coming to VEAP at the right time in the organization’s life cycle and we are excited to see where she will take us,” he added.
