Give Detroit – A Charitable Registry
// MISSION
Empowerment Plan employs and empowers unhoused individuals to break the generational cycle of homelessness by producing a sleeping bag coat for those in need.
// KEY SERVICES PROVIDED
Empowerment Plan’s model addresses homelessness in two critical ways. First, the organization provides employment and wraparound services for individuals recovering from homelessness in Detroit. Second, employees produce EMPWR sleeping bag coats, which are distributed to those who are unsheltered globally.
The organization’s program addresses everything from income and housing to child care and education. Roughly 60% of paid time is dedicated to coat production, and the remaining 40% is dedicated to on-site programming and support. Since 2012, Empowerment Plan has pulled more than 200 families from homelessness through employment and distributed 95,000 coats across all 50 states and 22 countries.
// UPCOMING EVENTS
Journey to 100K: This winter, the organization will produce and distribute its 100,000th EMWPR coat. That’s 100,000 lives impacted. Scan the QR code for more info!
