We Are Veterans Connected
We support Veterans and their families through spiritual support, tangible, meaningful assistance, and a sense of community.
We’ll be at the Detroit Free Press Marathon manning the Military Mile Sunday, October 19th, 6am - 2pm. We have over 30 participants running for us! The Military Mile is from the Dequindre Cut (St. Aubin St.) at Lafayette St., along Lafayette to McDougall St., then back down the other side of Lafayette St. Come join us anytime to help cheer on the runners and show your support.
Serving Our Community
Veterans Connected is committed to reducing the veteran suicide rate from 22 per day to zero. Through advocacy, mental health support, and fostering community connections, our organization provides resources and hope to empower veterans to overcome challenges and thrive. Our mission is to ensure no veteran is left behind.
