Providing a Bridge on the Road to Success
From 2007, when Here to Help was launched, we have helped over 25,000 people in southeastern Michigan who were facing an emergency need.
Our Returning Hope to Returning Citizens program launched in August 2020, to assist this marginalized group of individuals who are in desperate need of help and no organization was filling that void at all.
In January of 2023 we shifted our entire focus to concentrate ONLY on assisting returning citizens as the need is so significant for those coming back from prison and who have no clothes, no food, no income, no direction, no hope etc. We now have over 32000 people in our program!
We want to be there from the moment they walk out of prison and help them achieve success and provide them the hope, love, guidance, and friendship that has often been missing in their life. We have and we will continue to make a tremendous impact by helping this hard-working group of individuals who are in desperate need.
