Back to School Program

Special Programs include the annual Back to School Program, held in late August, which provides backpacks filled with age-appropriate school supplies such as pens, pencils, binders and paper. They also receive a voucher for access to Resale Shop clothing to begin school and a gift card for $35 to purchase new items like shoes from Meijer or Kohls.

Client Stories

Another person assisted was a 78 year old woman who decided to relocate to her daughter’s home and sold all her possessions. Imagine what it would feel like moving from New York to Michigan to live with your daughter and her boyfriend. Then, the unthinkable happens: he says it is him or you. Your daughter kicks you out. Literally on the curb, she called Open Door Outreach Center for help. Now, through Open Door Outreach Center and your support, she is living in a small rental house in Waterford, with furniture, food and household items to begin living again self-sufficiently.
