Charitable Union Steel Toed Boot Program selected for October 2021 donation

October 22, 2021 By Women of Impact

Charitable Union was the recipient of the Women of Impact funding at our October 12, 2021 meeting.

Charitable-Union-logoThe Charitable Union is a non-profit organization that helps provide clothes and bedding to children, families and veterans.

Our donation will be used to purchase steel toed boots.  Often an employer requires a worker to provide their own steel toe boots for positions requiring this protection, and the person applying has no means to pay for them. Providing new or gently used boots opens up these jobs to people who otherwise could not apply.

If you would like to donate online, their donation page is https://www.charitableunion.org/give/giving.html. Select the Shoegooder (Steel Toed Boot Fund) checkbox where it says “Other Reason for Donation (Please check how you wish your donation to be used)”.  In the “Other Information you want to share” box, enter Women of Impact.  If you donate on-line, could you please let us know by responding to the announcement email or filling out a contact form with the amount you donated so we can add it to our collective giving numbers.

You can also donate by check made out to “Charitable Union” (with “Steel Toed Boot Fund – WOI” in the memo line) to:

Women’s Life Recovery Program of the Haven of Rest Ministries

July 24, 2021 By Women of Impact

At our first in person meeting post COVID-19, we selected the Women’s Life Recovery Program of the Haven of Rest Ministries as our July donation recipient.

This program is a 9-12 month residency program operating at the former Emily Andres house.  They help women overcome their additions and include therapy and classes to learn parenting and life skills. They assist the women with court visits and personal appointments. This is one of the only programs in Michigan that allows the women to be with their children during the recovery program.  The program also includes child care during the time the women are attending their classes or  counseling.  They also assist the children with life skills and school work.  Graduates from the program frequently return as mentors to encourage current residents.  Some of the current program staff are graduates of the program.

Donation by check:

You can mail checks made out to

The Haven
with Women’s Life Recovery Program in the memo line.

Donation by Credit Card Online

It is still used locally and benefits local families. If you do donate on-line, it would be helpful if you could Contact Us let us know how much you gave.
