The homeless veterans who will move into Piquette Square have many needs, and we are seeking donations to address these needs. Household items - such as cleaning supplies, bed and bath linens, kitchen utensils, place settings and other things - are needed to help veterans take care of themselves and their new dwelling.
Please email or call Mary Madigan, Fund Development Manager, at 313.297.1371 if you can direct us to useful related resources such as retailers (perhaps with veterans in leadership positions), church groups or veteran service organizations. We also welcome financial contributions to help provide support services.
