Mission Statement
Mittens for Detroit is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that collects, purchases, and distributes new mittens and gloves to children, teens and adults in need in Detroit, Michigan, and other nearby communities.
About This Cause
Mittens for Detroit was founded in 2010, as a community initiative to address the issue of people in need of warm mittens and gloves in Detroit. Mittens for Detroit became a 501(c)(3) nonprofit in 2016. Our office is right in the heart of downtown Detroit. Mittens for Detroit collected, purchased, and distributed more than one-quarter million new pairs to children, teens, and adults in need in Detroit, Highland Park, Hamtramck, Dearborn, Pontiac, and other nearby cities where there is need. Community Collection is made by donations of pairs by the public throughout Metro Detroit, and distribution is conducted by a network of about 100 partner agencies, schools, shelters, programs, and other resources for those in need. More than 300 volunteers lend a hand in The Big Sort, a volunteer event that runs from October through March, where 32,000 pairs are sorted, counted, and boxed up annually. Mittens for Detroit is an appealing charity for businesses and individuals, as the results are literally tangible. Whether it is an onsite collection of new mittens and gloves, a volunteer engagement or team-building activity in The Big Sort, or matching individuals' donations with corporate funds, you'll find that Mittens for Detroit is a very easy nonprofit with which to work. We like to say "Giving warmth is cool!" because it truly is! By helping Mittens for Detroit's mission of warming hearts and hands, you will be making a big difference in the lives of others. Some of the companies that work with us include Kohl's, Amazon, Adobe, General Motors, Stellantis, Starbucks, Bedrock, Rocket Mortgage, Quicken Loans, Little Caesars Enterprises, Lear, Brose NA, DTE Foundation, United Wholesale Mortgage, and many, many more over the past 13 years. We hope you will join us!
