The Tribute Fest was set up to raise awareness and funds for homeless veterans in the state of Minnesota. Minnesota Assistance Council for Veterans (MACV) is a nonprofit organization that has been assisting veterans for over 21 years, helping over 5,500 veterans and their families. It is estimated that 1% of the veterans in this state, or close to 4,100, will experience an episode of homelessness this year. MACV is there to assist!
