They say you find out who your friends are during a storm. In Union City, Michigan, our friends arrived with smokers, supplies, and a "can-do" spirit.
To the volunteers and staff who dropped everything to respond: Your selflessness is the lifeblood of our organization. Thank you for bringing comfort and a hot meal to those who need it most right now.
The mission continues. If you’re ready to join us as a volunteer, download the “OBR Volunteers” app or visit OBR.org to register. There is a place for everyone in this family.
