Connections September 2025: How do you like to give?

September is a season of change and the perfect time to make a difference. At VOA Michigan, every gift of time, treasure, or talent helps us reach more people in need. Explore the opportunities below and see how you can be part of the impact in our community.

Our community shines brightest when we come together.

A wonderful example is our recent Operation Backpack drive. Because of you, 2,800 students walked into classrooms this fall with backpacks filled with the supplies they need to succeed. That’s thousands of smiles, boosted confidence, and brighter starts to the school year.

This is the kind of change we can create when we unite behind a cause. Explore the full recap and see how you can be part of the next story of transformation.

Have a car sitting in your driveway that you don’t use anymore? That vehicle could be the key to changing someone’s life.

Through VOA Michigan’s vehicle donation program, your old car is transformed into direct support for housing, food, and critical resources for veterans, families, and individuals in need. It’s a simple process for you, and it creates a lasting impact for the people we serve.

Turn your unused car into hope for someone’s tomorrow.

Your chance to ride away on a one-of-a-kind custom motorcycle is here, but time is running out.

The 2014 Harley Street Glide, expertly reimagined by Bad Pig Customs, could be yours. Every raffle ticket purchased helps fuel VOA Michigan’s mission to support veterans and families in need. It’s more than just a raffle; it’s your opportunity to win big while giving back.

Don’t wait because the raffle drawing is happening on September 6 at Bikes on the Bricks.

The holidays are a time of joy, but for many families, they can also be a time of worry.

Through our Adopt-a-Family program, you can bring light and hope to the season. By giving just a few hours of your time, you’ll help ensure that children wake up to gifts and that parents feel the relief of knowing their family is cared for.

Volunteering is a powerful way to give the gift of joy this holiday season because your time truly makes a difference.

Give Old Clothes, Change Futures

It might be blazing hot now, but winter is coming.

Our thrift stores are gearing up early, and we need your help. Donate your gently used coats, sweaters, and cold-weather gear today to help us stock up for the chilly months ahead.

Every donation supports our mission, funding critical programs for families and veterans across Michigan.
