Full Circle Foundation is a fully accredited charitable organization working in conjunction with the Grosse Pointe Public School System to provide opportunities for increased independence for individuals with special needs in our community.
Our goal is to provide structured training programs where individuals with special needs can learn and practice skills that will allow them to function productively and contribute to their community. Training programs include the operation of a retail store where donated items are resold to the public. Instruction and practice in such areas as washing, drying, and ironing of donated clothing, are an integral part of our Upscale Resale Shop. Learning about and practicing food preparation, sewing, vegetable gardening, art, computer and communications skills are all available for program participants.
