The campaign is collecting new coats and new boots to help clothe over 10,000 needy children, women, men residing in distressed communities throughout metropolitan Detroit, Michigan and other Wayne counties for the next four consecutives years of the campaign.


During the four year campaign the organization goal is to raise $200,000.00 and collect over 10,000 coats and boots to help clothe and shoes the needy throughout southeastern Michigan, including Wayne, Oakland, Macomb and Monroe counties.    We will recruit at least 100 volunteers to help with the campaign.


The program will distribute new coats and new boots to needy children for back to school and/or during the holiday seasons. The program will serve Wayne, Macomb and Oakland counties. The program was implemented since 80% of households lives at or below the poverty rate in southeastern Michigan and other Wayne counties, and many of these children does not have a coat and/or boots to carry them through the winter months, so we seek your support in helping us to provide these needy children with a new coat and new boots for the winter months.


 The program collects new coats & new boots for The Gift Of Giving New Job, New Suit Programs is a project implemented to give economically disadvantage homeless men the opportunity to dress for success while going on job interviews to obtain a job in order for them to become self-sufficient and self-reliant.. The program was designed to help low income men residing in homeless shelters throughout the communities of metropolitan Detroit, including Macomb, Oakland and Wayne counties. The suits are being distributed to economically disadvantage men in homeless shelters, substance abuse centers and other transitional housing for men, who are seeking employment and need a suit to wear to their job interview.
