Are you experiencing the joy of helping others through volunteering?  In 2013 87% of Michiganders volunteered by helping our neighbors, friends, and families.  This service was valued at $5.4 billion!

Lenawee residents believe there is a greater need for charitable organizations than in the past.  We believe that these organizations are more effective now than five years ago and that they play a major role in making our communities better.  And, we back up our beliefs with money, nearly 90% of us contributed to nonprofits last year.
