Volunteers have helped the Minnesota Senior Services Federation achieve the discount purchasing of food. medical treatment. drugs. and clothing. Volunteers also work with the United Handicapped Federation. They have expanded Project Mobility to provide transportation services for over 20.000 handicapped Minnesotans. In addition. VISTA volunteers are working with area employers and real estate companies to develop new job openings and accessible living situations for the handicapped. Finally. VISTA volunteers have played a significant role in helping the over 10.000 Laotian refugees of Minnesota become a part of our community. An example of a project assisted by both VISTA and the private sector is the Lao Family Community in St. Paul.
