| For 129 years, Volunteers of America Michigan has provided Michiganders with essential resources and services. This incredible work is made possible by our dedicated staff, generous donors, and amazing volunteers—people like you! |
As we honor the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country, we’re reminded of the importance of supporting those who served. In this month’s newsletter, discover how your support can make a difference for Veterans across Michigan and more.
Thank you Harlan Electric
During a recent visit to our Detroit Veterans Housing Program, the team from Harlan Electric Company noticed something small—but meaningful: the gym lighting was dim and uninviting. Rather than simply taking note, they took action.
Thanks to their generosity, our gym now shines with brand-new lighting—making it a brighter, safer, and more welcoming place for the Veterans we serve.
We’re so grateful to the Harlan Electric team for making this transformation possible!

Local Students Need You
It’s that time of year—Operation Backpack is officially underway, and we need your help to set local kids up for success this school year.
This annual drive ensures that children in need receive brand-new backpacks filled with the supplies they need to learn, grow, and thrive. Your generosity doesn’t just support students—it brings peace of mind to families facing tough times.
Together, we can make sure every child walks into school feeling confident and prepared.
Honor a Veteran this Memorial Day
As Memorial Day approaches, we take time to honor the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. Their sacrifice is a powerful reminder of the freedoms we enjoy—and the responsibility we share to care for those who served.
This month, consider making a gift in honor of a veteran in your life. Your support helps us continue our mission to serve Michigan veterans with the dignity and compassion they deserve.
