Welcome to the Midwest Shelter for Homeless Veterans

The Midwest Shelter for Homeless Veterans, founded by Vietnam War veteran Bob Adams and Gulf War veteran Dirk Enger, is a registered 501 (c)(3) organization that provides transitional and affordable housing programs and supportive services to U.S. Veterans of any era to help them out of homelessness and back to useful, productive lives. Located in Wheaton, Illinois, the Midwest Shelter has named its homes in honor of two Wheaton North High School graduates who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country: Marine Lance Cpl. Nicholas Larson, who was killed in the line of duty in Iraq in 2004 Army Staff Sgt. Robert Miller, a Medal of Honor recipient, who was killed in Afghanistan in 2008

Please consider making a tax-deductible donation to help homeless veterans regain their rightful place as productive members of our community.

You'll find golfing, good food and caring people at this year's 8th Annual Golf Outing & Texas BBQ Dinner at the Klein Creek Golf Club! There'll be prizes for numerous golf heroics and raffle prizes to win. Tickets can be purchased in advance, here on our website, or at the Midwest Shelter For Homeless Veterans, Inc. in Wheaton, IL.
