Serve Outdoors, established in 2008 in the Villages of Van Buren County, offers people with disabilities, veterans, youth, and the elderly the chance to experience the great outdoors through hunting and fishing.

Guided by local volunteers, participants utilize specialized equipment like handicapped blinds and boats.
