880 residents. 11 affordable housing communities. Creating it is hard. The impact is clear. Seniors with stable rent. Veterans with leases. Families who can plan ahead. People who can breathe. 💙 #VOAMichigan #AffordableHousing

Happy Global Recycling Day. ♻️ Most donations to our thrift stores? Someone buys them. Uses them. Loves them. 11M tons of textiles hit U.S. landfills yearly. But what you donate gets a second life. Sales fund veterans, students, families. voami.org/thrift #GlobalRecyclingDay

Happy St. Patrick's Day. 🍀 130 years of this work hasn't been about luck. It's been about neighbors showing up. Thanks for being that neighbor. #StPatricksDay #VOAMichigan

That car sitting in your driveway? The one you keep saying you'll fix someday? You're not going to fix it. Donate it. We'll pick it up for free. Running or not. You get the tax deduction. We sell it. The money goes straight to our programs - veterans' housing, Operation Backpack, family services. One phone call. One less thing taking up space in your life. One more way someone gets help. Donate your vehicle: voami.org/donate-vehicles 💙 #VOAMichigan #CarDonation

Michigan weather: 60 degrees on Monday, snow on Friday. Hopefully this is our last cold snap. But when you finally take off those winter coats for good, don't just toss them in the back of your closet. Donate those winter coats. Someone buys them affordably at our thrift stores. Sales fund veterans, kids, families. One donation. Two impacts. voami.org/thrift #VOAMIThrift

When a veteran walks into our GPD program, Morgan Caudill is the first person they meet. That conversation matters. 5 years with us. Started in operations. Now doing intake. Turning "I don't know what to do" into "here's your next step." voami.org/morgan-caudill 💙

Found on a wall in our Booth Community: "There is no before. There is no yesterday. There is only today. And today I prepare for tomorrow." Thank you for 130 years. Because of you, we prepare for 130 more. 💙 #VOA130

In the early 2000s, VOA Michigan made a bold move: consolidating our small thrift stores into two major Lansing locations. Bigger stores meant more inventory, more affordable options for families, and more funding to support our programs. It was a turning point. What started as a handful of secondhand shops became a sustainable engine for our mission. Today, seven VOA Michigan thrift stores processed over 5.5 million items last year alone while providing affordable essentials to thousands of Michigan families. Part 10 of 13 in our 130-year journey. 🏛️ #130Years #VOAMichigan #MichiganHistory #ThriftWithPurpose
