The Art Van name is an iconic symbol of quality, customer service and philanthropy.  Through the innovative Art Van Million Dollar Charity Challenge, Orchards received a gift of $50,000 in support of our Horizons Program. 

The recognition from this highly regarded Michigan business leader validated the importance of serving youth in the uniquely effective way that Orchards does.  Proceeds helped fund the continuum of services under the Horizons’ umbrella - three sessions of the research-based Learn-2-Learn Study Skills Program for forty youth, funding for 50 youth to attend summer camp and the consumer-driven Mission: Transition Program helping youth aging out of foster care to improve literacy skills and successfully transition to post-secondary education.  Art Van’s support provided an invaluable “vote of confidence” that has helped us leverage additional funds from private, corporate and foundation sources.  Our deepest appreciation is given to Art Van for helping us build the momentum we needed to launch our campaign, and to continue to serve kids and families in ways only possible through your support.
