Giving Back 2015

The Safe House Center and Harbor House are safe, temporary homes for domestic violence victims to come to with their children.  In most cases, they are leaving with their children and that’s it!  No toiletries, clothing, blankets, pillows…nothing.  Both the Safe House Center and Harbor House have wish lists you can view by clicking on the links.  Please keep to their wish lists, at this time they do not need any more toys or gifts for the Holiday season, that’s already been taken care of!

  • Trees For Troops – Since 2005, more than 157,000 free, farm-grown Christmas Trees have been provided to troops and military families in the United States and overseas through Trees for Troops. Thousands of trees are donated by American farm families and the public, and FedEx delivers these trees to more than 60 military bases in the U.S. and overseas. FedEx has logged more than 573,000 ground miles for the Trees for Troops program.

    Be a part of this wonderful program by visiting one of the farms, retail lots and garden centers across the country that will be participating in Trees for Troops Weekend (December 4-6, 2015) this year.  Each of these locations will have a FedEx trailer parked at their farm/lot so you can purchase a tree and then place it on the truck to be donated and delivered to a military family at one of our participating bases the following week.   If you are in the Ann Arbor Area, English Gardens is the closest location participating (where you are able to donate a physical tree) in T4T Weekend. – http://www.treesfortroops.org/dnn/default.aspx#&panel1-3

  • Blessed By The Battle – Orlando based homeless ministry run by Rhonda Lackie and her husband.  “On Sundays we do distributions at alternating locations around Orlando. We also go out of town once a month to serve the homeless both near and far. On November 21st we will be in Tampa to serve 500+ people Thanksgiving dinner and we will also be distributing clothes and hygiene products. We are always in need of clothing, hygiene products, and snacks”.
