We had some new groups help us out in September. For instance, a group of students from Eastern Michigan University took a Community Plunge with Friends In Deed by volunteering to deliver much-needed furniture to low-income families in our community.

“I take a lot for granted,” said Kailey Vowles after experiencing the excitement of a little boy receiving furniture. “It was really eye opening.”

“They were so genuinely grateful and sweet. They just needed a little help,” Sarah Niese, another of the EMU students in the group, said of the families they met. ” It was nice to help.”
