(Plymouth, MI) The Plymouth Community United Way has kicked off its 2011 Campaign to raise money for partner agencies and grant recipients who provide basic needs and resources for residents of Plymouth, Plymouth Township, and Canton. The agency is reaching out to individuals, businesses, industry, and professionals to make a donation or run a campaign at the office. Everyone benefits when families are financially stable and healthy.
Last year, in addition to funding partner agencies, the Plymouth Community United Way organized Make a Difference days to clean senior citizens’ yards, and collected new hats, scarves, mittens, and gloves for the homeless and those in need. Volunteers are still needed for the Nov. 5 event to rake lawns, clean yards and provide light labor for seniors in the Plymouth/Canton community.
Donations can be made to the Plymouth Community United Way, 960 W. Ann Arbor Trail, Suite 2, Plymouth, MI 48170. For more information, call (734) 453-6879.
Visit www.plymouthunitedway.org to learn about the work of 10 partner agencies including First Step, Angela Hospice, The Salvation Army Plymouth Corps, and Plymouth Community Council on Aging. The nonprofits offer a variety of services from food pantries to an emergency dental fund, bus transportation for seniors, housing for adults with developmental disabilities, programs for victims of domestic violence, and opportunities for Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts to develop skills and become valuable members of the community.
Together we can accomplish what no individual or organization can do alone.
Serving the Plymouth and Canton community since 1944, the Plymouth Community United Way strives to address human service needs for individuals and families.
