Give a Mott Holiday Bear – it’s like a big, warm, fuzzy bear hug! It will definitely make your loved one smile while also helping out thousands of children.

Charity Drive

December 3rd, 2009
web_blog_banner-charity Could you spare a bottle of shampoo, a couple of canned goods, or a pair of gloves this Holiday season? Or perhaps there is something else on this list you could spare?

We’re working with SOS Community Services in Ann Arbor to provide needed personal care and food items for its crisis center this Holiday season. Every item donated makes a difference for a local family. We know that budgets are tight; however, you, our members, have humbled us in past years with your generous hearts.

Donation boxes are available at the Briarwood Cir., Carpenter Rd., Green Rd., and Jackson Rd. branch locations through Saturday, Dec. 19. Every item donated will go to serve a Washtenaw family in crisis.
