Today we honor Juneteenth and the resilience of Black communities across the country.

As legendary Black singer and Detroit icon Aretha Franklin said: "We all require and want respect, man or woman, black or white. It's our basic human right."

What do MiThrift and 6 Boeing 747's have in common?

Last year, MiThrift saved over 5 million pounds of items from landfills. That's equivalent to six fully loaded Boeing 747's worth of stuff that found a second home instead of a landfill.

And that's all because of you. These items come to us from you, find a second home through you, and fund our services for veterans, seniors, and families because of you.

Thank you to our loyal MiThrift shoppers.

1 in 5 kids start school without the supplies they need. Without those items, it's hard to learn or even just fit in.

That's where Operation Backpack comes in. We fill backpacks with supplies and get them into the hands of kids who need them.

Here's the good news: a prefilled backpack costs less than $25. Just $25 to change a kid's school year. Just $25 to say "you matter."

We need hundreds more this summer. Will you help?

Donate. Purchase a backpack. Volunteer. Every bit helps.

Everyone's yard is sprouting up this time of year, and the Detroit Veterans Housing Program is no exception!

We're so grateful to Technology Management Resources (TMR) who came out and did some beautiful landscaping work for us. They helped get everything in order so our veterans can focus on healing and enjoying their home.

Thank you, TMR.

On Memorial Day, our team at the Detroit Veterans Housing Program hosted a Military Appreciation picnic! As you can see from this video, it was a hit.

Thank you to everyone who made this picnic possible. Thank you to those who have served our country. We appreciate you. 💙

This is what Operation Backpack looks like. Pure joy. Two kids ready to start school. Ready to succeed.

Last year, 2,800 kids got this moment. This year we want to reach even more.

Operation Backpack 2026 is live. Donate supplies, start a drive, or volunteer. Every action moves the needle for a kid who needs it.

Last Thursday, our friends at Metro Food Rescue opened a food pantry at our Sumby Senior Housing.

Here's why this matters: many of our seniors can't easily get to a grocery store. No car. Can't drive anymore. Health issues that make a trip across town impossible. So they make do with what they can, which isn't always fresh.

Now they don't have to. Fresh vegetables. Fresh fruit. Right here in their home. Restocked twice a month.

Metro Food Rescue saw this barrier and removed it. We're so grateful to be part of this new program. Our seniors deserve access to the food that keeps them healthy. 💙
