Maggie's Wigs 4 Kids of Michigan had another great opportunity for outreach this week at the Community Development Block Grant hearing in Shelby Township. We have served several families from their area and they have generously provided funding in the past to support our program. Our thanks to the Board of Trustees for hearing a request for the 2025-2026 grant cycle.
