WHY VOLUNTEER AT AFFIRMATIONS?

Because this community is built by the people who show up for it — and that could be you.

Affirmations is more than a building. It’s a food pantry, a gathering space, a resource hub, a place where LGBTQ+ people across metro Detroit come to feel seen, supported, and connected. Our volunteers are the heartbeat of all of it. From welcome desks to community events to mutual aid programs, volunteers make the magic happen every single day.

When you volunteer at Affirmations, you’re not just donating your time. You’re helping create a space where someone might walk in feeling alone — and leave feeling like they found their people.

If that sounds like something you want to be part of, we’d love to meet you.

Come as you are. Stay as long as you’d like. We’ll take it from there. 💜
