Governor Whitmer has proclaimed January 2025 as Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) Month in Michigan – a time dedicated to understanding and addressing the social, economic, and environmental factors that impact our health. From housing stability and food security to employment and community safety, SDOH profoundly shapes our well-being. This month, join Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS), health organizations, community groups, policymakers, and community members in efforts to create a healthier, more equitable Michigan.

At Family & Children Services, we understand the intersectionality of health impacts, and are committed to opening access to resources for our community.

This year we had more volunteers than ever join us for the holiday season. Whether it was unpacking and organizing the pantry, helping load and unload gifts, decorating the gym, or stuffing envelopes, our work couldn’t not have been possible without them.

Thank you to everyone who donated their precious time on behalf of our clients. We appreciate you!
