We are a non-profit agency and do not receive state or federal funding. We rely on United Way, donations, and fee for services, so your donation(s) tremendously help our doors stay open and keep our programs available in West Michigan. We serve approximately 3,500 people per year in 14 counties with our programs such as advocacy, interpreter referral, job placement, behavioral & mental health, hearing assistance outreach, ASL classes, and more.

Monthly Letter Campaign
DHHS does a monthly letter campaign, highlighting a program or service we need funds for. We mail it to different homes. When people donate, we recognize them in our newsletter and on the web site, appreciating their donation towards the program or to the agency. You can donate in memory of a loved one or in support of a person you know with hearing loss, or simply because you care about the hearing loss issue.
January 2011 – Youth Program = $945
December 2010 – Hearing Assistance Outreach = $1,280
