The purpose of the Ionia Montcalm Military Supports Committee is to build Ionia and Montcalm Counties’ community capacity to support military service members, veterans, and their families through community awareness, partnerships, resources, and education activities. Click here for our workplan. Any interested individual or organization can be involved.

Our efforts are “purple”- inclusive of all service branches including Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard, and National Guard and military service status (e.g., active, reserve, veteran).

Both the Montcalm Human Services Coalition and the Ionia County Child Family and Community Council have dedicated staff support to the effort. 

Meetings

Upcoming Ionia Montcalm Military Supports Committee Meetings are posted on the Montcalm Human Services Coalition's website's event calendar. At these meetings we network, address our workplan, and have speakers. Feel free to call for more information.   

Inspiration

Click here to see the inspiring and unforgettable North Platte Canteen video on You Tube. It shows the positive impact one person made in WWII for our service members. (Note that the recommended video segment ends at 5 minutes 48 seconds (5:48)- after that there is an additional "tag on" self-promotion video piece developed by the posting organization -Military Ministries- that is not part of the suggested/original North Platte video piece. I will continue to search out a "stand alone" video.)
