Giving Hope Christmas at Dixboro

We had a great turnout for our annual Dixboro shopping event, despite the roads being icy. We provided "Slippers for Mom" with several pairs of slippers as well as a cash donation from our members.

Thank you to Brenda, the owner of Dixboro General Store, for always being so generous with our group.

Thanks also to all the volunteers who helped greet our guests, serve cookies and wine and stuck around to help clean up.

Thank you also Raeann and her special events committee. They did a great job once again supplying us with cookies, wine and water.

Giving Hope Spring Social Update

Giving Hope Spring Social Update

The Giving Hope Board would like to wish all of our members a very Happy Spring!

Our Pizza Party and Game Night at Buddy's Pizza was a success!

Kyle and Laura from Growth Works talked to us about all of the progrmas they offer to area pre-teens and families. What started out as an intervention program to help kids who were getting in trouble in Kellog Park in Plymouth has grown into an organization that works with local schools, police departments and other municipalities to provide a variety of services. They have four locations - Plymouth, Canton, Livonia and Garden City and help with Substance Abuse Treatment, Juvenile Justice and other Family Services. 

Thank you to Raeann Neil and the Special Events Committee for planning such a fun night!

Welcome New Members!
