DONATIONS
You make it all possible!
If you’ve ever had a chance to visit the Loren Andrus Octagon House and its grounds, you will have noticed that it is filled with treasures which grace the facility with charm and beauty. What you may not know is that almost every single item has been generously donated by many thoughtful people who love history and have a desire to see it preserved. Everything from the furniture in the home to the plants in our beautiful gardens provides the facility with ambiance of times past. Additionally, so many wonderful individuals have provided assistance through monetary donations and by attending our events. The funds raised are crucial and assist us in paying our bills in order to keep the house functioning.
As the Friends of the Octagon House continue to move forward in our effort to restore and preserve the facility, we always seem to come across a few more things needed to make the job turn out perfect, so we have developed a wish list. If you can assist us by donating any of these item/s, we would be very appreciative. Call
or email our Donation Coordinator, Susi DiPace, at 586-781-0084
or donations@octagonhouse.org
The list is revised from time-to-time, so please visit the list again for updates.
If you’d like to help by donating in a monetary fashion, please download our donation
form below. Your contribution can be made in honor of a special occasion, as well as in honor or memory of someone. What a great way to memorialize that special event or loved one in your life!
