✨The Spare a Chair campaign has officially launched in our community! ✨

This summer, local businesses across Mid-Michigan are helping us share powerful stories from youth impacted by foster care through hand-painted chairs created with care and purpose. Each chair represents the space a family can open for a child, and they display the story of the child who painted the chair.

We invite you to stop by these amazing community partners, read the stories, and reflect on the impact one supportive adult can make in a young person’s life.

A huge THANK YOU to each of the businesses hosting a chair and helping spark important conversations in our community. Your support means so much to the youth and families we serve.

🪑 Stories and chairs will rotate throughout the summer, so be sure to visit them before they move to their next location!

If you’ve been curious about foster care, this is a great opportunity to learn more, ask questions, and see how even one open seat can change a life.

Featuring our community partners:
Sleepy Dog Books
Da Spot
SugarBeet Flowers and Bridal
GreenTree Cooperative Grocery
505 Cafe
The Barn Door

Today starts our new fundraising campaign for our Listening Ear Assistance Fund (LEAF)! 🤩

We're collaborating with local businesses to sell paper leaves that will be displayed to show support for LEAF. All proceeds raised go directly into our emergency assistance fund, to be distributed back to people in need in the Central Michigan area.

Starting today, we have two businesses participating, with more on the way later this month! Thank you to A Scott Harris Salon and Huggy Bear's General Store for your help selling leaves, and to Modern Woodmen for matching the first $1000 raised.

Keep an eye on our page to see who else we'll be partnering with later in the month... 👀

💚 We’ve raised $350 so far for L.E.A.F. — thank you!

The Listening Ear Assistance Fund helps provide one-time annual assistance for transportation, partial rent and utilities, and other emergency essential expenses.

Because weekly funding is limited, every donation helps us stretch support further for neighbors in need.

There are still a couple more weeks to give, and thanks to Modern Woodmen of America, the first $1,000 raised will be matched — doubling the impact of every gift.
