We pride ourselves on helping Veterans create and sustain a healthy, suitable lifestyle when returning home from war. Every warrior has a next mission — and we are their partner in that mission.
We are here for their first step, and each step that follows, because we believe every Veteran should have a positive future. There's always another goal to achieve, another mission to discover.
We Want Green, Too! is a grassroots, community-led nonprofit founded by Gloria J. Lowe in 2007 — inspired by her work with Veterans at the Detroit Veterans Center.
To be a self-sufficient, independent, sovereign people — to live in the world we believe is possible through building a sustainable community that recognizes our humanity.
Teamwork is at the heart of everything we do. Our mission to create sustainable housing in Detroit is powered by collaboration between community members, local leaders, and especially the Veterans we proudly bring into our workforce. We believe in second chances and shared purpose.
We Want Green Too is building a safe, inclusive, and sustainable space on Detroit's East Side—ensuring no Veteran is left behind.
We empower Veterans through environmental education, green job readiness, and community connection, helping them lead in the growing green economy.
