OUR MISSION

Formerly known as Military Women In Need, the organization was created in 1920 as Housing Subsidies Program for widows and mothers of fallen service members. In 2005, Military Women In Need began its focus on women veterans. Today we continue to serve women veterans and their children as Foundation for Women Warriors.
