We’re beyond excited to share that Operation Refuge Mother’s Pantry has been recognized by the United Way! This special acknowledgment will help us ensure families in southeastern Wayne County have access to the nutritious meals they need. We couldn’t do this without each of you—our supporters, volunteers, and partners. Let’s keep making a difference together! Stay tuned for more!

United Way for Southeastern Michigan secured grant funding for Mother’s Pantry to purchase a van for home deliveries, addressing transportation barriers and meeting the evolving needs of the residents they serve.

From Camp Inspire to the WORLD 🌍✨

What started as an eight-year-old stepping into Camp Inspire has become an eighteen-year-old confidently navigating the world. This is the power of exposure, mentorship, and belief.

Operation Refuge doesn’t just dream big — we prepare our girls to go global. 💫
The world is their classroom, and the future is wide open.

Tune in to Truth to Power show 10am tomorrow.

Since day one of this Administration—when President Trump issued his unconstitutional birthright citizenship order—I’ve stood up to unlawful abuses of immigration authority.

Because the time to stand with communities being attacked is when the attacks start, not when they reach a breaking point. And with state attorneys general on the front lines (including in Minnesota right now) you can bet I’ll continue standing up as AG.

The power of Operation Refuge is in our youth. 💙🌍

From Camp Inspire at 8 years old to traveling the world at 18, this is what growth, opportunity, and vision look like. Our young people are not just dreaming big, they are living boldly, exploring new cultures, and stepping into the fullness of who they were created to be.

We are so proud to watch our youth flourish, expand their horizons, and experience life beyond limits. This is more than a program, this is a movement of hope, confidence, and global impact.

Operation Refuge is proof that when you invest in young people, you change the world—one journey at a time. ✨✈️🌏

What an AMAZING day at Operation Refuge and Mother’s Pantry! 🎉

We were beyond honored to welcome Michigan Department of Health and Human Services Director Elizabeth Hertel and her incredible team to our space. The energy, the connection, and the shared commitment to our community made this visit truly special.

They didn’t just visit—they engaged, listened, and witnessed firsthand the heart of our work: feeding families, empowering youth, and serving with dignity and love. This is what real partnership looks like, and it reminded us that when leadership shows up, communities rise.

We are grateful, inspired, and even more motivated to keep pushing forward for the people we serve every single day. Thank you, Director Hertel and team, for standing with us and believing in the power of community-driven impact!
