Connections November 2025: We’re Late, But Gratitude Can’t Wait

This November, we pause to honor what matters most: our community, our mission, and the people who make hope possible.

As you may have noticed, we are posting this a little late, but you can still catch up with all the updates in our newsletter. Between honoring veterans, serving families, and launching Adopt A Family, it has been a busy season, and your support is needed now more than ever.

This Veterans Day, our community came together in a powerful way to honor the service and sacrifice of Michigan’s veterans. We are so thankful for our supporters, sponsors, partners and volunteers who helped make this year’s celebration special. 

If you would like to see photos from this year’s celebration, click on the button below! Thank you for standing with those who once stood for us. Your dedication ensures that our veterans receive not only resources, but a sense of belonging.

If you haven’t heard, we opened a brand new thrift store in Marshall, Michigan! This new locations expands our ability to fund critical programs while offering affordable items for our community.

The heart of the holiday season is here – and so is the need. 

Through our Adopt a Family program, we connect hundreds of families who are struggling to provide basic necessities, let alone gifts or holiday meals, with generous sponsors such as yourself.

Your support can make all the difference; will you join us to ensure that every child will wake up to hope and joy on Christmas morning?

Giving Tuesday is right around the corner on Dec. 2!

Please be sure to check your email inbox or follow us on social for a special message from our CEO, Aubrey Macfarlane, where she will be sharing exciting updates and how your generosity is helping us step into our historic 130th anniversary year.

You won’t want to miss it.

Thank You for Your Support!

This November, remember: giving is powerful.

Thank you for helping us serve families, honor veterans, and make hope possible every day.
