On August 21st, we’re teaming up with Lace Up Detroit for their 2026 Back to School Campaign. Lace Up Detroit is a nonprofit helping underserved women and children across Southeast Michigan get a head start on success by providing new shoes and boots.
You can support their work by donating. A $25 donation can gift a child a new pair of shoes and the confidence to begin the school year ready to learn.
We’ll also be collecting new athletic shoes for students at Fourgrounds. You can stop inside our Plymouth Coffee shop on Friday, August 21st between 7 a.m. - 5 p.m. to drop off new athletic shoes (grades k-8th), make a donation, or try our specialty drink “Sole Purpose,” with proceeds benefiting Lace Up Detroit.
