Midwest Shelter for Homeless Veterans<\/span><\/h3>\n

Paul Schifferer, founder and president of Next Door, Inc., is a 20-year veteran of the Army National Guard and current president of a local chapter of the Combat Veteran\u2019s Motorcycle Association. With his time, dedication and passion for veteran\u2019s causes, he continually strives to find ways to help his fellow vets, especially those in need. Paul has done his due diligence, and he believes that one of the best veteran\u2019s charities around is the Midwest Shelter for Homeless Veterans (MSHV). With the help of the Fox Valley Chapter Business Networking International (BNI), Paul champions an annual fundraising event for the Shelter. The 2016 event (Called Bowling with BNI) which took place on\u00a0Sunday, March 6, at the Bowling Green Sports Complex, in West Chicago, raised $5,100 for the Midwest Shelter. \u00a0More information about the Midwest Shelter for Homeless Veterans is available at www.HelpAVeteran.org.<\/p>\n
