Friends In Deed focuses on providing essential services to local families who need transportation assistance, utilities support, furniture and more. The nonprofit has helped hundreds of families over the past two years and hopes this year’s fundraiser will allow them to reach many more in need.
In 2020, Friends in Deed raised more than $110,000. The organization has set the bar higher this year, with a goal of raising $150,000 with the help of their co-hosts Professor Lisa D. Cook, Professor of Economics and International Relations at Michigan State University, and Ken Fischer, President Emeritus at UMS.
