A Brief History of WWG

WWGN was born in response to a grieving world. May 21, 2018, changed the lives of every single person on earth. Billions of people were lost to The Vanishing, the devastation felt by those left behind. Inspired by his friend Samuel Wilson, Steve Rogers founded WWGN to help the world as best he could. What began as informal meetings in Steve's apartment in Brooklyn, New York, set off a chain reaction of care. By the end of October 2018, with the help of volunteers, staff, and kind communities, WWGN was born in search of solace. 

WWGN was recognized as a 501(c) (3) organization in late 2019 and has grown from a small group to a support network of over 300 chapters in the U.S. and Canada.
