Making A Difference

We are very grateful to all of our wonderful customers who have made it possible for us to give our latest round of financial contributions to The Ann Arbor Autism Foundation, The Judson Center, and Different Path newsletter. To date, Grow With Me has donated $8,500.00 to these and a number of other autism-related organizations.

Our customers can feel good knowing that each time they donate clothing items or purchase items from our popular dollar bins, they are making a difference for families of children affected by autism. Here’s how some of those contributions are making a difference:

• With our help, The Judson Center to has been able to purchase sensory- friendly therapeutic items for use in their summer programming. In addition, supporting their center will help fund direct scholarships to consumers to supplement the out-of-pocket costs for their programs and services.
• Donations provided to The Ann Arbor Autism Foundation have been used to support families affected by autism by providing scholarships to families in need, and grants to agencies for community projects.
• A Different Path newsletter provides a voice for families of children with special needs. Financial contributions will be used to help pay for mailing and printing costs.

So thank you for your continued support. The more you shop and drop off items, the more assistance we can give these wonderful organizations!
