Eaton County Charities
We began with the thought of providing information about a couple of Eaton County
charities that our members may wish to support. What we found was a comprehensive
list of services to low income individuals and families that involve county agencies
and nonprofit organizations and include services such as health care, income assistance,
housing assistance and counseling. Many of these organizations are supported by the
Capital Area United Way and the Eaton County United Way.
