Restore and Replenish: Giving Tuesday 2023
November 28th!
We are reaching out to you, our cherished community, to help us restore and replenish.
Our warehouse, recently battered by relentless storms, stands as a symbol of resilience, and your support is the foundation upon which we will rebuild it. It’s here that we store dreams of a better life and where we offer a helping hand to our neighbors, particularly in Ypsilanti Township. We urgently require $10,000 to fully restore our warehouse. This will involve purchasing fire-resistant insulation, repairing structural wall damage, and fixing the damaged roof sections. Whether you can give $50 or $2,500, your help is urgently needed to get us to that initial $10,000 target.
Once we reach this goal, we’ll replenish our bedding supply, providing essential comfort to those we serve. With the unwavering support of our dedicated partner, Van Winkle Mattress Co, who generously pledges to donate one extra bed for every four beds contributed, we can make a significant impact. To put it in perspective, a crib costs just $140, while a queen bed and box spring come to $570. Can you help us make these dreams of comfort and solace a reality for our neighbors in need?
Join us today in supporting the restoration of our warehouse and the replenishment of our bedding supply. Your contribution, big or small, will help ensure that every neighbor in need can enjoy a peaceful night’s rest.

Picture the arduous task of seeking peaceful rest after enduring the upheaval of a disaster or a significant relocation, particularly on a cold, drafty floor during the harsh winter months.
Numerous families facing challenging circumstances, including those emerging from homelessness, recovering from fires, floods, or bedbug infestations, or fleeing domestic violence with their children, find themselves in desperate need of beds.
You hold the power to bring a positive change to these families’ lives by offering them a warm and cozy place to sleep. Stand with us in supporting the Friends In Deed “Restore & Replenish: Giving Tuesday 2023” campaign, and thanks to the generous commitment of Van Winkle Mattress Co, one bed will be provided for every four donated through this program. Together, we can help these families find the rest they need to face life’s challenges with renewed strength and hope.
