For the Ypsilanti community, we provide monthly grants to social service agencies which allows them to provide additional assistance to those most in need. We provide temporary emergency funding, on a case-by-case basis, for housing, utilities and medical or dental
care to individuals and families. Once our Social Services Director receives the request,
she will communicate with your caseworker, and your caseworker will advise you.
Vouchers for free merchandise can be obtained from social/case workers at a variety of agencies.

The Ypsilanti Thrift Shop has been serving our community since 1942. We are a group
of dedicated volunteers who work together to meet our major goals:
1. Providing affordable, gently used clothing and household items to our community; most clothing items are priced between $2 and $5
2. Donating funds to dozens of local organizations that provide for those in need in our
area
3. Creating a pleasant, fun shopping atmosphere for our customers
4. We sell clothing for men, women, and children; jewelry; household items, linens,
decorative items, and counter-top appliances; books, CDs and records and tapes;
holiday items; toys; sewing and knitting supplies and craft items
