Can and Bottle Donations Make a Difference

Drew’s Home can collection has become much more than a recycling effort — it is a powerful expression of community support and care in action. Thanks to the generous donation and redemption of more than 30,000 cans, Drew’s Home has been able to fulfill its mission of providing daily tasks, entertainment, and educational experiences for our residents as they interact with individuals in our community.


The proceeds from this ongoing effort directly support activities that bring joy, connection, and growth to those we serve. Residents have enjoyed special dinners featuring professional entertainers, creating evenings filled with laughter, music, and memorable moments. Recreational activities such as bowling outings, softball participation, and trips to a movie theater have also been made possible through the

funds raised by the can collection.


Perhaps most heartwarming of all is the annual Christmas celebration. Complete with a festive dinner, a special visit from Santa, and thoughtful gifts for each resident, the celebration is a direct result of the thousands of cans donated by friends, families, and supporters. What might seem like small contributions individually have collectively created extraordinary experiences.


Every can donated represents more than spare change — it represents opportunity, dignity, and joy for the residents of Drew’s Home. Through this simple but impactful initiative, our community continues to make a lasting difference in the lives of those we proudly serve.

We are pleased to share an exciting milestone in our journey. Drew’s Home of Clarkston has officially purchased Clarkston Corners which houses our remodeled, fully accessible apartments. This purchase carries special meaning. When the property was first acquired, the Moscovic and White families, through their LLC, made a generous commitment - to hold and manage the building until Drew’s Home of Clarkston was financially able to assume single ownership. Their vision and commitment gave us the time we needed to grow and to finance the remodeling of six apartments within the building so that theapartments met the needs of Drew’s Home of Clarkston residents. Today, thanks to the continued support of our donors and community, we are fulfilling that promise. As a result of securing ownership of the building, Drew’s Home of Clarkston ensures that our residents - adults with disabilities who deserve dignity,safety, and independence - will always have a place to call home. We extend our deepest gratitude to the Moscovic and White families for their partnership and to each donor and volunteer whose generosity and time has made this possible Together we are not just purchasing a building. We are creating individual living spaces that ensure that adults with handicaps can live in safe, accessible, and comfortable living conditions that enhance their lives. Together, we are securing a future for them of stability, belonging, and opportunity.
