About Great Lakes Children's Charities
Great Lakes Children's Charities is a non-profit organization dedicated to improving the lives of children and families across Farmington Hills and Michigan
For years, we have been committed to helping children in crisis—whether they are struggling with homelessness, hunger, or lack of access to education. Through a variety of programs and community initiatives, we work tirelessly to meet the most urgent needs of children and families in our region.
By providing vital support and resources, we help children overcome obstacles and ensure they have the opportunity to grow, succeed, and reach their full potential, creating brighter futures for all.
Our Mission
Our mission is simple: to create positive, lasting change in the lives of children and families in Michigan. We believe that every child, regardless of their background or circumstances, deserves a fair chance at a bright future. Whether through educational support, emergency relief, or housing assistance, our goal is to provide essential services that help children thrive.
Our Vision
Our vision is to create a community where every child has access to the resources, opportunities, and support they need to succeed, regardless of their circumstances. We believe that by working together, we can break the cycle of poverty, provide stability, and empower children to build a better future for themselves and their families.
How We Help
We are passionate about making a real, lasting difference. Every dollar donated, every toy or book collected, and every hour volunteered goes toward creating lasting change in the lives of the children and families we serve. With the support of our community, we strive to ensure that no child in Michigan goes without the basic needs that everyone deserves—food, shelter, education, and love.
