Big thanks to our friends at Awakon Federal Credit Union for showing up for the Veterans at Patriot Place.

Along with a generous $500 gift, their team spent the day re-sealing porches and cleaning out garages for every Patriot Place guest, helping maintain a safe, dignified place where Veterans can focus on regaining stability and transitioning out of homelessness into safe, secure homes.

We’re grateful for partners like Awakon who provide critical support for our Veterans.

"Patriot Place gave me a breath of fresh air and the chance to reset my life. Here I feel safe.”

Northern Michigan’s Patriot Place program for Veterans is more than a shelter. Here, Veterans transitioning from homelessness to permanent housing find support, encouragement, and connection, with on-site resources designed for their needs.

Now open to both men and women, Patriot Place provides Veteran-centered care in partnership with the Veterans Administration, creating a community where Veterans can take their next step forward.
