Generous families bring holiday gifts for kids

Every year we collect Toys for Tots in our two lobbies. Often donations come from people who attended our services of remembrance.

“People attending the service are surprised to see the collection boxes,” says Co-owner Mike Lope. “But every year our boxes fill up two or three days after the service. People come back and give very generously. I think families that may still be finding their way through sad times find a little joy in helping others, especially kids.”

We offer our heartfelt thanks to the friends whose generosity will bring joy into the lives of children across metro Detroit.
