Our Story

Our Founders happened to find a single piece of paper on the floor from a homeless Veteran needing assistance. They took that as a mission to start this non profit organization. For more than 14 years, Veterans Helping Veterans SWMI Foundation has devoted its energy to passionately advocating for the homeless veteran families in Southwest Michigan. 

Since 2014 we have assisted over 3500 Veterans and their families. Find out how you can contribute to the future of someone in need through donations of furniture, household items, monetary donations and or volunteering your time.  Our veterans need help now.

Creating a community where veterans lift each other from homelessness to hope, from instability to independence, and from isolation to community 

Veterans Helping Veterans SWMI Foundation’s Mission is to empower and support Veterans in Southwest Michigan by fostering a community of camaraderie, resilience and services. We collaborate with Veteran service community resources and provide essential resources, mentorship and advocacy to help Veterans navigate their post-service challenges. Our commitment starts with assisting homeless Veterans by providing donated furniture and household items to help them maintain sustainable living after homelessness and or residential treat. We aim to honor their sacrifices, enhance their quality of life and ensure that no Veteran faces their struggles alone by providing a “hand up, not a handout”
