House by the Side of the Road
West Side's Community Offering for August will support Ann Arbor's House by the Side of the Road.
The purpose of House by the Side of the Road is to provide clothing and other household essentials to children and adults in need. Its services are free to clients with limited funds. People come in after family breakup, job loss, fire, or prolonged illness. It also serves those who are homeless, those who are reentering society from prison, people with mental health issues, recent immigrants, and migrant workers. The House has rooms of bedding, clothing (including coats, hats, and gloves), bedding, small household items, books and other media available without charge
House by the Side of the Road, an all-volunteer organization with no paid staff, has been open for 57 years. In 2025 it serviced 5178 households in Washtenaw county, a nearly 10 percent increase over 2024. It is located 2051 S. State Street and is always looking for more volunteers. It can be contacted at housebyroad@gmail.com or 734-769-4085.
