We provide year-round opportunities to come together as Veterans, women Veterans, friends, and family.
We offer a vast array of options that are ever-changing and have included things such as:

Due to the interest and desires of our women Veterans we have and will continue to support 'Women Veteran Only' programming and events.
We have supported retreats, workshops, and many other get-togethers. We are looking at an upcoming year of growth for our women that is fueled by their passion and interests.
If you identity as a women Veteran and would like to be involved in the ongoing planning, please reach out to us!
Veterans Rising is proud to host the Kent County Veterans Services Veterans Recreation Program.
This unique programming is made possible by grant funding from the Michigan Veterans Affairs Agency and with the forward thinking mindsets at KCVS. Many of the events that Veterans Rising offers are a part of this movement to engage the health and well-being of Veterans through multiple avenues of approach.
