Our Mission

We support veterans and their families through spiritual encouragement, meaningful assistance, and a strong sense of community.

Serving Our Community

Veterans Connected is committed to reducing the veteran suicide rate and ensuring that no veteran stands alone. Through advocacy, mental health support, and meaningful community connections, we provide resources, hope, and practical assistance to help veterans and their families overcome challenges and move forward with strength and dignity.

In 2019, we recognized that many veterans in Michigan did not qualify for financial assistance through traditional programs. Some were excluded because they were not injured in the line of duty, did not meet income requirements, or served during periods that did not fit specific eligibility criteria.

Seeing these gaps, our founding group made a decision to address the problem in a Christian way and ensure that no veteran would be left behind.

Many veteran service organizations are limited by geographic boundaries, funding restrictions, or eligibility requirements established in their bylaws. Veterans Connected operates differently.

Our only requirements are:

• There is a legitimate and verifiable need for assistance.
• The individual served in the United States military.

Each request is carefully reviewed, including the specific need and the financial circumstances of the veteran or military family. Because of our streamlined process, decisions are often made within days, allowing us to respond quickly when help is needed most.

Veterans Connected does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, disability, age, faith, sex, or the character of a veteran's discharge in the administration of its programs, services, and activities.
