How you help Your time and unique talents are critical to bringing strength and hope to wish kids when they need it the most. In fact, our volunteers are at the heart of every wish experience. Make-A-Wish® Michigan volunteers consider their work impactful and meaningful. And, their efforts are rewarded—not in dollars or cents, but in the incredible difference they make in the lives of our wish kids. Volunteers even have the freedom to choose when and how they would like to help transform lives in our community.
About us Together, we create life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses. Since 1984 We've granted more than 10,000 wishes. Headquartered in Brighton with offices in Grand Rapids, Make-A-Wish Michigan serves families in all 83 counties in Michigan.
