About WEST MICHIGAN VETERANS ASSISTANCE PROGRAM

West Michigan Veterans Assistance Program is a volunteer-run 501(c)(3) organization serving veterans and their families across West Michigan; its stated mission is "To leave no Veteran behind." ([wmvap.org](https://wmvap.org/)) The organization operates a veteran-focused food pantry (in partnership with the VA Homeless Service Center in Grand Rapids) and a public fundraising store in Wayland, and provides limited emergency financial assistance for needs such as medical co-pays, prescriptions, transportation, and other emergent veteran needs.
