Michigan Women Veterans Empowerment
MIWVE's mission is to identify, connect, educate, advocate, support and empower all military veterans, service members, their families and the youth in the 8 dimensions of wellness.
MIWVE is dedicated to continuing to safely carry out our mission within the communities that we serve. In the military the mission
never stops regardless of the season, we will lead with the same spirit while serving others. We've experienced fruitful years and
plan to expand our outreach programs in 2026. We have faith in God to give us what we need as we effectively serve others.
