About FRIENDS IN DEED

Mission Statement
Helping People in Need; Building Community to End Poverty.
Description
For over 35 years, Friends In Deed has helped families in Washtenaw County weather the emergency crises that would otherwise lead to financial disaster. Not only do we help people with basic-needs furniture, we help when an unexpected car repair threatens employment, when a utility is about to be turned off, when a family member has a medical or dental need they cannot afford, and with much, much more.
While our programs to date have been aimed at helping low-income families survive poverty, we implemented a new program in 2017 that focuses on lifting families out of it: Circles Washtenaw County. Friends In Deed operates as the Washtenaw County chapter of Circles USA; a model that has over 70 chapters across the nation. The program’s unique strategy utilizes education, goal setting, training and relationships to help clients develop the resources and social capital they need to rise out of poverty and achieve economic independence.
