2025 RECAP
Because of your compassion and commitment, Make a Difference Day was a true success for Plymouth Community United Way. Together, volunteers and sponsors stepped up in a powerful way to support seniors, disabled residents, and neighbors who needed a helping hand.
This year (2025), we:
- Cleaned up 27 homes across the community
- Engaged 230 volunteers who spent the day raking leaves, clearing yards, and offering support
- Strengthened connections between neighbors and brought joy to dozens of households
We extend our deepest gratitude to our Make a Difference Day sponsors:
Sames, ANDRITZ Schuler, Inc., A Friend of PCUW, Consumers Energy, Vanguard Ann Arbor, and Tooth and Waffles Pediatric Dentistry.
