MVCA supporting charitable work during COVID19 
MVCA encourages you to support some of the ongoing charitable organizations that are helping make a positive difference during the COVID-19 pandemic. Each week, we will send out information on a different Michigan charity  that you can consider supporting with a donation.

A2 Helps is a (501c3) relief service (organized by Cahoots) designed to ease some of the financial strain that this quarantine has had on small businesses in the Washtenaw area.  A2 Helps receives donations from the community to purchase gift cards from local restaurants and retail stores. These gift cards are then electronically distributed to healthcare professionals in partnership with St. Joe’s Hospital and Michigan Medicine. DONATE TODAY !
