Hope Clinic
Ypsilanti, MI | April 2024
APRIL 2025 SHIPMENT
In April 2025, Blueprints for Pangea hosted a Day of Service to
strengthen our presence on the University of Michigan campus and deepen our engagement with the Ann Arbor community. As part of this initiative, volunteers assembled 200 dental hygiene goodie bags using materials sourced affordably through our operations team. Each kit included a toothbrush and toothpaste set, individually wrapped floss picks, a goodie bag, and mouthwash, and volunteers also prepared around 300 utensil kits at the Utensil Kit Making Station. We delivered the dental kits to Hope Clinic, a free community clinic that provides comprehensive medical and dental care, along with food assistance and other essential services, to uninsured and underserved residents in Ypsilanti and surrounding areas. Hope Clinic plays an essential role in reducing health and resource disparities in Washtenaw County, and donated hygiene supplies help support the hundreds of patients they serve each month.
This project not only provided needed oral-care materials that directly support Hope Clinic’s work, but also strengthened Blueprints for Pangea’s ongoing partnership with the organization. Through the Day of Service, we brought together volunteers from multiple departments, increased awareness of our mission, and demonstrated our commitment to addressing local health needs. By supporting a clinic known for its compassionate, accessible, and community-centered services, this initiative highlighted the positive impact Blueprints can make locally while reinforcing our role as a reliable partner in community health.
APRIL 2024 SHIPMENT
In April of 2024, the headquarters of
Blueprints for Pangaea at the University of Michigan conducted a 10 pound shipment to Hope Clinic, located in Ypsilanti, Michigan. The shipment was valued at $234.13, and was self-sponsored. Given the close proximity of Ypsilanti to Ann Arbor, the shipment was easily able to be delivered by Blueprints members themselves using cars.
Hope Clinic is a free-care healthcare organization located in Ypsilanti and Westland, Michigan. They provide medical, dental, behavioral health and food support at no cost to uninsured and under-insured patients. With over 1,600 volunteers and tens of thousands of service requests annually, the clinic serves as a critical safety net provider in the Southeast Michigan community. The donation of surplus medical supplies by Blueprints for Pangaea enables Hope Clinic to sustain and expand its holistic care for this vulnerable population.
