The VFW National Home is honored to announce a generous $20,000 gift from Jackson National Life Insurance Company (Jackson®) to our Family Support Services Fund.
This gift will provide essential resources that strengthen the National Home’s programs for military and veteran families with children. Families who come to the Home often arrive in times of distress, facing barriers that feel overwhelming. With the support of our staff and community, they begin a step-by-step journey toward stability, growth, and independence.
Along the way, families learn how to manage finances, rebuild relationships, plan for housing and employment, and prepare for the next chapter of their lives. Success is measured in meaningful ways—stable jobs, educational opportunities, family stability, and even the dream of home ownership becoming possible.
To make this happen, the National Home offers transitional housing, life skills training, youth programs, and emergency financial assistance. Families also benefit from a strong community of support and partnerships with other organizations that expand the resources available to them. Together, these efforts create an environment where families can grow stronger and thrive.
“We are deeply grateful to Jackson for their partnership and support,” said Angie Harkins, Program Director at the VFW National Home. “This generous grant enables us to continue meeting the unique needs of our families with care, compassion, and the tools for long-term success.”
Jackson has a long-standing history of supporting the Mid-Michigan community, and their investment in the National Home reflects their commitment to strengthen families in the tri-county area.
“Jackson is proud to support VFW National Home and their impactful work. At Jackson, we are passionate about giving back to the communities where we live and work. Through our grants with nonprofits like VFW National Home, we can further our common goals to strengthen families and create economic opportunities for our neighbors.” – Susannah Berry, Assistant Vice President of Corporate Philanthropy & Events, Jackson®
Thanks to this $20,000 gift, veterans and their families will have access to resources that empower them to build stability, grow stronger, and thrive in their communities.
