Connections Enewsletter – July 2025

For more than 129 years, Volunteers of America Michigan has been a place where compassion meets action. Every service, every success, every story begins with people like you- our generous donors, selfless volunteers, and dedicated staff.
 
This month, as we look ahead with purpose and gratitude, we’re proud to share powerful updates from across the state. From backpacks packed with care, to volunteers sharing their voices, to meaningful community partnerships and a brand new season of impact with the Call Sam Chopper Shop. These stories are proof that when we come together, hope happens.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our first-ever Voices event—an unforgettable evening celebrating the impact of your support.
