What started in 2016 with the delivery of 90 coats to SOS Community Services in Ypsilanti has grown into an incredible grassroots effort powered by generosity and community partnership. This spring, the A2-ADVANCE clothing drive set a goal of collecting 1,500 items and together, our community donated and distributed an amazing 3,674 items to neighbors in need across Washtenaw County. Items were shared with: • House by the Side of the Road • Corner Health Center • Mercy House • Emmanuel Lutheran Church Clothes Closet • Faith in Action A special thank you to Bonnie Pond and the many volunteers and supporters who helped sort, organize and distribute donations throughout the drive. Since its founding, A2-ADVANCE has now helped distribute 22,621 items to community members in need. Ann Arbor National Black Nurses Association, Donald Likosky
