Baldwin Center

THANK YOU to all the donors and volunteers who helped us celebrate the holidays here at the Baldwin Center!  Together we provided Holiday Baskets and Holiday Store shopping trips to 240 local families.  Now it is time for staff to take a holiday break to be with their families.    We wish you all safe and happy holidays.

The Baldwin Center will be CLOSED Friday – Monday, December 23 – 26, 2016.  Services will resume Tuesday, December 27, 2016, through Friday, December 30, 2016.

The Baldwin Center will be CLOSED Saturday, December 31, 2016 – Monday, January 2, 2017.    Services will resume Tuesday, January 3, 2017.

Thanks to the generosity of many individuals and organizations, the Clothes Closet is FULL.  At this time, we are unable to accept clothing donations.  We need time (and space) to process all of the items that have come in.  Thank you for your support.

Due to weather-related road conditions, all Baldwin Center programs are cancelled and all buildings are closed Monday, December 12, 2016.  We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Here at the Baldwin Center, we celebrate by giving away Holiday Baskets and Holiday Store shopping trips to 240 local families with children in the home.

We invite you to join the festivities.  And you can invite others — organize a drive or take up a collection.  Together we can fill Holiday Baskets with turkeys and all the trimmings for a holiday dinner, plus groceries and paper products to last a week or two, AND we can stock the Holiday Store with new clothes and gifts for all ages.  LET’S CELEBRATE!

Friday night at the Lafayette Grande, good food from great restaurants, beer and wine, a flip book photo booth, a Kentucky Derby theme with extravagant hats, a live horse for equine selfies, mint juleps and bourbon tasting, music and dancing, and a live auction with more than 40 items.  If it sounds like a party, that’s because it IS a party and the proceeds support the Baldwin Center.   Good Fun and a Great Cause.  Unlike Saturday’s horse race, that’s a WIN-WIN.  Follow instructions on this web page to reserve your tickets, because it won’t be a party without you.  If you don’t come, you’ll miss all the fun…and we’ll miss YOU!

Come celebrate with us!

Gala 2016 has a new vibe.  The theme is borrowed from a long-standing American tradition, the Kentucky Derby.  We’ve even got a horse, so you can take selfies with Top Hat Fiduciary.   As a nod to “the most exciting two minutes in sports”, we invite you to bring your spirit of fun and adventure, wear your best hat (if you wish), and be prepared to mingle and dance in the historic and charming setting of the Lafayette Grande.

Enjoy good food and experience mint juleps and bourbon tasting at the cash bar.  Tickets are only $65. Come to bid on the cool stuff in the silent auction, entertain yourself and your friends in the flip book photo booth, and celebrate the people and organizations who are the Heart of Baldwin.

Step 1:  Reserve Gala tickets here  

Step 2:  Send a check to Baldwin Center, 212 Baldwin Ave., Pontiac, 48342  OR pay online (enter $ amount as donation and designate “Gala 2016″)

Step 3:  Pick up tickets at the door.  See you May 6th!

Happy Spring!

The Baldwin Center and all of its programs will be closed on Sunday, March 27, 2016.  We will be open for regular programming on Monday, March 28th.  Have a  HAPPY EASTER.

The Baldwin Center has opened its doors to provide a meeting space for a group of young people who are working to make a positive difference in their community. WELCOME, Leaders of the Future!
