This year, Freedom House has requested our assistance to provide earbuds to their clients to be gifted at their holiday party. We will also be holding our annual wrapping party, details on date and time to come soon.

The clientele they primarily serve are among the most vulnerable- Michigan's refugee population. Approximately 82% of clients, women and men, are survivors of torture. On average, 90% of Freedom House’s residents exit the program into independent housing and 90% of clients have jobs upon exit.

Freedom House supports and empowers individuals and families seeking safety, security, and freedom by providing comprehensive services (housing, legal, medical and mental heath, help securing employment, etc) in a welcoming space.

Every single one of you matters. Every pledge, every social media post. Can't pledge much, or at all this year? That's okay! Spreading the word is equally important. Don't use social media much? Word of mouth is still an effective means of communication. 7/8
