30 Years of Serving Families in Crisis

Open Door Outreach Center is a western Oakland county charity that serves Waterford, White Lake, West Bloomfield, Keego Harbor, Sylvan Lake and Commerce Townships, as well as parts of Walled Lake and Wixom.

Open Door Outreach Center helps families when situations prevent them from providing their basic family needs. Our service provides free food, free clothing and free referral services for qualified families in our service area.

Open Door's Food Pantry provides free food and basic household supplies on a monthly basis to our qualified clients. On average, more than 11,100 pounds of food, is distributed to almost 300 local families every month, thanks to many businesses, churches, and private donors.

This year, Open Door Outreach Center celebrates 30 years of helping those in need with food, clothing and crisis funding for utility shut-offs, rental/mortgage assistance, prescriptions, etc. A major part of the Center's anniversary celebration is the "Tip the Scales 30,000 lb. Food Challenge".

Please participate by calling (248) 682-0044 to let Open Door partners place a collection box at your place of business. They can also pick it up up when you are done if necessary. Get your employees and customers involved.

If you have any questions, telephone me at (248) 360-2930.

Sincerely,

Sharon A. Josephson
Executive Director
