VETLIFE is 100% top non-profit supporting the welfare of Veterans. VETLIFE’s efforts to positively impact outcomes for Veterans and their Families has been impactful. Direct engagement and solving problems with results is absolutely the objective of this organization.
Additionally, VETLIFE is developing innovative technology to reduce the number of Veterans and their families who are not receiving the benefits they are granted for their service to our Nation.
Comprehensively VETLIFE’s results oriented engagements along with their implementation of cutting edge technology makes them the finest Veteran Support organization I have experienced.

VetLife is a fantastic organization with a heart of gold.

The owners and staff are focused on helping military transition to civilian life and ensuring each understands, and receives the benefits they earned....they sacrificed for.

The objective is clear, simplify the difficult most vets/families experience when interacting with agencies and programs.

I have known Josh Parish at VETLIFE for several years now. As a recently retired Army Chaplain and the Veteran Liaison with the State of Michigan, I can't say enough about how important the work that the VETLIFE team does here in Michigan. Providing resource rich events and advocacy for thousands of Veterans and their families will have a lifelong impact on the quality of their lives and their ability to be resilient.

Their dedication to empowering veterans and their families is unparalleled, and the positive impact they’ve had on the community speaks volumes about their passion and professionalism.

VETLIFE provides a valuable service to our Veterans! They make it easy for us to refer Veterans to them so they can find the benefits they need and deserve. We have sponsored things over the years for their events as well as volunteered. It is wonderful to see how the Veterans, their families, and even the volunteers are treated. Just like one big family. Thank you VETLIFE for the services that you provide as well as the opportunities for our employees to volunteer.

I love the work that VETLIFE does to serve and assist our Veterans. VETLIFE has many opportunities for us to come together and support our Veterans in bigger ways. We are able to contribute and or volunteer to specific projects which then is able to have a bigger impact on the Veteran. It is also good to know that 100% of what we give is going to a real "vetted" cause or need. Our Veterans deserve so much and I am thankful for what VETLIFE does for them.

VETLIFE is ran by dedicated people who understand veteran’s and the issues that they and their families face. They work hard to educate and connect veteran’s to their benefits. one of my favorite things about VETLIFE is that they focus on, not just the veteran but, the entire family. I have enjoyed volunteering with VETLIFE and seeing first hand the appreciation and joy that their events being to veteran families young and old.

I am not a Veteran myself and for that reason I appreciate all those who are that much more. I'm thankful every day for their sacrifice to keep our country safe and free! Therefore, it only stands that all Veterans should not only honored but provided all of the benefits that they are due. Vetlife, through their great work provides the advocacy for all Veterans to make sure they have access to those benefits and support all Veterans deserve. Josh Parish and all that work with him are passionate and dedicated to ensuring that wherever possible all Veterans are respected, honored, educated and provided the resources to help make their lives and family's futures better and brighter. Thank you Vetlife for all you do!!!

Things were very difficult for me and to be honest I had given up all hope. I reached out to VETLIFE on a whim and was so surprised they returned my message. I can’t thank their team enough. They literally saved my life when I was at one of my lowest points they found me the help I needed at the time. I am truly grateful for everything they did for me and continue to do for other vets like me.

Not a veteran myself but grateful to all of those that did and do serve our great country, especially my father, a 97 y/o WWII Navy Veteran. Also grateful to the VETLIFE for organizing VetFest, an exhibition to connect veterans with available service, both private and public. I took my dad there on a summer Saturday where he was not only able to connect with two or three other WWII Vets (They're pretty scarce these days) but was able to talk with representatives of the Veteran's Administration about some services that he desperately needed but was unaware that he qualified for. Thank you VETLIFE for all you do for our heroes!

VetLife is an awesome nonprofit that helps veterans to find the support and resources that are available for them. Every year they have a "Harvest for Heroes" that provides hundreds of veteran families with Thanksgiving turkey and ham baskets. At Christmas time they sponsor veteran families by donating presents so that no child is without a gift. They have "Warmth for Warriors" which raises money for veterans who are homeless in the state of Michigan. They also have "Troops on the Field" where veterans children can attend a football clinic that is free. Detroit football players donate their time to teach children the game of football and how they can improve their skills. There are so many other events that VetLife sponsors in order to help veterans succeed in every area of their lives. Kudos to VetLife!!!
