Service/Volunteering

Food plays a huge part in our Thanksgiving celebration, so we decided to support a food pantry, the Open Hands Food Pantry and Garden in Royal Oak – https://openhandspantry.org/.  They are located at St. John’s Episcopal Church in Royal Oak on the corner of Woodward and 11 Mile. Their mission statement: Open Hands is a community-based non-profit pantry and garden that provides assistance to and elevates the dignity of our neighbors. We have an update on things currently needed by the pantry. Cash is always welcome, but in addition to cash they gave us a short list of items needed – Toothpaste, Soups and Cereal.  Michele B. or Eileen W. will be attending some of the club events in October to collect donations. An email will be coming out shortly to let you know which events we will be attending. Also, check donations should be made out to “Troy Newcomers” and mailed to P.O. Box 103, Troy, MI 48009 or to Michele or Eileen.

You can also donate through PayPal using the Donate button below.

The club gives us $150 to start and then the rest is up to our very generous membership.  We will start collecting at events in October.  Stay tuned for the schedule.  As always, a donation can be mailed to P.O. Box 103, Troy, MI 48009 or to Michele or Eileen.  Thanks in advance, we are looking forward to a successful Service Project!

We will be adopting a family through Operation Blue Shield. Officer Greg Pokley from Operation Blue Shield will be the guest speaker at the November 20th luncheon. We should have our family by then. Details will be sent in November.
