Nonprofit Spotlight: Mittens for Detroit
Every Michigander knows about the perils of our winters: the icy roads, the potential for power outages, the need to dress in layers. The winter requires extra vigilance to keep ourselves safe–and to look out for others. We asked Mittens For Detroit’s Executive Director Wendy Shepherd to tell us about why it’s so important to support nonprofits like hers in the winter months.

“What is Christmas? It is tenderness for the past, courage for the present, hope for the future.” – Agnes M. Pahro

A Girl Like Me Inc
The 100 Toys Christmas Giveaway is poised to have a significant impact on low-income families in several ways. Firstly, the provision of toys during the holiday season can bring joy and happiness to children who may not otherwise have the opportunity to receive gifts.
Preparing for Thanksgiving and Giving Tuesday!
“Thanksgiving was never meant to be shut up in a single day.” – Robert Caspar Lintner
Woohoo! It’s November and we here at SHARE are getting ready to celebrate Thanksgiving with our families and we hope you are, too! But you know what’s just as good as coming together to enjoy a meal with friends and family? Coming together to support those who can’t.
Veterans Day
"It's about how we treat our veterans every single day of the year. It's about making sure they have the care they need and the benefits that they've earned when they come home. It's about serving all of you as well as you've served the United States of America." - Barack Obama
