Veterans Helping Veterans

Our Story

It all started with a piece of paper on the floor

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.
