Grand Rapids/36th Street - Humane Society of West Michigan
The Humane Society of West Michigan was first organized in 1883 by citizens who shared a concern about abused, neglected, and homeless animals. Today, they still promote the humane treatment and care of animals in West Michigan through education and protection.

Cadillac - Missaukee Humane Society
In 1989, volunteers chose to convert a portion of a property to the non-profit caring of dogs and cats. This did not come easy, as they relied on substantial assistance from friends, relatives, and community-oriented people possessing various skills. Thus, this shelter was built.

Manistee - Homeward Bound Animal Shelter
Homeward Bound is a 501(c) nonprofit no-kill shelter that receives no state or federal funding, and relies on memberships, donations, and fundraising events. They offer opportunities to people who want to contribute more specifically to the shelter through various funds.

Helen DeVos Radiothon
We were proud to sponsor the Helen DeVos Children's Hospital Radiothon again to help raise critical funds for patients and families that need it most. With the help of the community, the Helen DeVos Children's Hospital Foundation raised $551,476.28 to provide high-quality and safe health care for kids in West Michigan and beyond! We were honored to do our part in making sure children get the care they need today to ensure a healthy tomorrow!
Angel Tree and Toys for Tots
For the first time, our team members got involved and decorated their own ornaments for members to "purchase" and go towards the toy drive. We were able to buy even more toys to donate from the monetary donations we received from an ornament "purchase." The generosity shown by our members and team members this year was outstanding and much appreciated by your community. Take a look at our team member's ornaments! Thank you!
