Circles is a unique program that is based on the premise that developing meaningful relationships across socio-economic lines can have a dramatic impact on the effort to move families out of poverty. Knowing that relationships and connections matter, the Circles program matches a person in poverty with 2-3 middle or upper income partners for at least 18 months to build relationships. The goal of t

hese relationships is to break the cycle of generational poverty by creating circles of support and connections with people who are committed to making real change in our community.

We’re Still Recruiting Circles Allies!

Circles is growing, and that growth means we need more Allies willing to walk alongside our leaders as they work toward long-term stability for themselves and their families.

Being an Ally doesn’t require money, just time, consistency, and heart. If you believe in the power of relationships and community, we would love for you to join us.

Hi everyone,

On August 9, we will be rappelling down a 110-foot building in downtown Ann Arbor to raise funds for Friends In Deed, a local nonprofit that helps Washtenaw County families move from crisis to stability.

To go Over the Edge, I need to raise at least $1,000, and every single dollar goes directly to essential programs like eviction prevention, transportation support, job-readiness mentoring, senior services and so much more.

Want to be part of the action?

And if you want a front-row seat to the fun (without dangling from a rope 😄)...
Join me as a volunteer the day of the event!

We need awesome folks to cheer, check in guests, wrangle gear, and keep the energy high.

Let’s make some noise for an amazing cause. Thank you so much for your support—it truly makes a difference!

With gratitude and excitement,
