Great Local Organizations Worth Donating to This Season


WESTLAND, Mich.,––Christmas is only 3 days away! Can you believe it? If you're feeling in the spirit of the season, consider giving to not just your family and friends but to the community as well, as long as you're able. By providing a little gift to organizations, companies, and people who consistently support our Westland/Wayne community, you'll be helping to make it a better place to live. There are lots of people out there right here in our community who need your help, but where can you make a donation? Here are some great local organizations worth donating to this season:

Great Local Organizations Worth Donating to This Season

Wayne County Family Center The Family Center in our neighboring Wayne County offers transitional shelter for homeless families along with other services including easy access to the SMART bus line, a laundry room, three balanced meals and snacks during the day, licensed child care for preschoolers, job counseling and placement, case management, financial planning, a medical clinic, and most importantly, help finding a home! This organization allow the families in our area to live a semi normal life while they work towards permanent placement. We make a donation to the Wayne County Family Center from our Annual Golf Outing proceeds each year. Consider making your own donation this Holiday season. 

Westland Youth Assistance The Youth Assistance Program offers assessment meetings, drug screening, free academic enrichment, mentoring, drug screening, recreational activities, guest speaker presentations, life choices classes, and other services for ages 9-16 from Westland. These children are referred by Police, Courts, Schools, Parents/Guardians, and other agencies for the services listed above that are geared towards providing a healthy and successful life. We provide funding for this program along with other great organizations, and hope you will make a donation this season! 

Starfish Family Services This organization stretches across metropolitan Detroit, with a location in Westland, Inkster, Livonia, Dearborn Heights, Plymouth, and Redford. Starfish Family Services offers plenty head start or preschool programs, youth programs, parenting programs, preschool, finance services, counseling and health services, community programs, and a shelter & crisis center. All these programs offer people the resources to be well supported role models, and outstanding citizens all while having a little fun. Their goal is to provide the children of our communities a brighter future and you can contribute a little to make this happen! 

Angels' Place of Oakland County Angels' Place provides people-centered services like housing, enrichment programs and outings, and professional support for adults with developmental disabilities, or primarily intellectual disabilities. This organization hosts 20 homes in Metro Detroit (Wayne, Oakland, and Macomb County) and usually provides care for the rest of these adults' lives. All of Angels' Place operations is funded by fundraisers, social security & Community Mental Health Funding, and donations. The organization is responsible for about 35% of operating costs and it takes on average $62,000+ per resident per year for support. We hope you'll consider donating this season - and make sure to check out their merchant supporters where you can shop to donate all year long.  

P.O.E.T. Animal Rescue This non-profit, all-breed, rescue organization saves and hosts many abandoned or rescued dogs, cats, puppies, and kittens from Michigan and Ohio throughout the year through their foster homes. They often host events for adoption throughout Metro Detroit, and have partnered with North Brothers Ford in the past. P.O.E.T. regularly needs food and pet supplies to support each animal waiting for adoption and if you're a pet owner, you know this can be expensive! Help this organization keep these animals happy and healthy this season and throw them a bone or two by donating online! 

There are many other organizations in the Westland and Wayne area that we didn't mention above that need your help. These organizations require donations to continue doing what they do in supporting the people, and animals, of our community not just during the holiday season, but all year long. If you're able to, we hope you'll consider making a donation to these worthy organizations this Christmas. Stay tuned to our blog, website, and social media accounts for events and more information on giving back to the community in partnership with North Brothers Ford! We hope you have a safe and happy Holiday!
