Hero's Corner (click for more info)

Hero's and Shero's Corner is more than just a drop-in center... It is a lifeline for veterans who are already carrying the weight of mental illness, trauma, and homelessness.

Many of the veterans served by Hero's and Shero's Corner are rebuilding their lives and rely on the organization for safety, connection, and support.

The roof covering their drop-in center located on Eastern Avenue in Kentwood is failing, and the organization is in critical need of funds to repair the roof to continue serving area veterans.

To learn more about supporting the programs and services provided by Hero's and Shero's Corner, you can visit heroscornergrandrapids dot com
