It is with a mixture of sadness and celebration that we write to let you know that Michael’s House, Inc., will end operations in 2023. Importantly, we will no longer receive donations after March 31, 2023.

Although winding up operations, we plan to provide our care partners and the needy elderly population they serve with enough funds to provide support for a period of at least 8 to 12 months, and hopefully longer. It will take time for them to make arrangements for the future.

Many of our volunteer members have served the organization for years, some nearly twenty years. Our core staff, including the officers who have worked tirelessly for so long to perform the operational functions required to run our organization, have decided that it is time for them to step down. Without dedicated replacements, Michael’s House will no longer be able to carry out necessary functions. So, it has been decided to begin the process of dissolution while it is still possible to do so in an orderly manner. Our founder, Michael Craig, with sadness but also with joy over the long success of Michael’s House, concurs with this decision.

Over the next months and as we continue to wind down operations, we will celebrate all that we have achieved together over the last almost 20 years. As a final reminder, donations will not be accepted on Facebook or through our website - michaels-house.org after March 31st. Some information, news, and archives of our newsletters and past projects will continue to be available through our website.

Thank you for being part of our community.
