I shop at the Sterling Heights store and I interact with the people involved in the program and I witness the pride and rebirth of their lives and I would highly recommend this program to anyone struggling with a substance abuse issue. I also witness the support they give to one another. God Bless. Many people would be dead if they didn't have Grace Hope door to knock on.

Very negative experience. Pickup drivers were an hour late and were extremely rude when they arrived. I was told they would not take my sofa as a donation because it has a floral pattern. This information was not disclosed to me by the dispatcher when I set up my appointment for the pickup. I will never deal with this organization again!!!

We had the opportunity to tour the facilities with Mark Cunningham and met the Pastor and his wife, and their amazing team members. We engaged with the participants and provided Susie Q's Kids comfort bags to the children in the program, we were enriched by their commitment to hope and healing, and we applaud them and the positive environment and culture where they can succeed on their personal journeys.
Kudos to all.
