About iCare of Michigan
Our Mission
To help children, adults, and families with one-time immediate donations to help diffuse any current crisis. We are dedicated to raising funds to help those in need where no other source exists, and provide a speedy response. Each person or organization dedicated to the mission graciously volunteers either their individual resources, expertise and/or their time.
Our History
In 1969, after the inner-city neighborhood conflicts, Warren Smith requested a lunch with local businessmen. The purpose of this lunch was to discuss what actions could be taken to aid the children of the Cass Corridor in Detroit, Michigan. These businessmen were familiar with the needs of these children and together were determined and committed to making a difference. From that moment in time, iCare of Michigan was conceived. The mission then was to assist these children through an organization that maintained zero overhead. Each person volunteered to make positive impacts utilizing their individual resources, expertise, and their time.
Today, iCare of Michigan continues to help those in need but does not sustain any one child, family, program, or organization. Our purpose is to help anyone in need for “any good reason,” responding with cash donations on a one-to-one basis with no waiting period. We are happy to share that today we are more than two thousand donors strong and have helped countless individuals and families!
