We provide employment and training for individuals experiencing homelessness to manufacture sleeping bag coats for those in need.

 

At Empowerment Plan, we work to produce our durable and innovative coat that transforms into a sleeping bag. This employment opportunity ensures that each person we hire is able to earn a stable income, find secure housing, and regain their independence.

Lucky Duck Foundation


The Lucky Duck Foundation is a San Diego-based organization that focuses on high impact programs that alleviate the suffering of homelessness throughout southern California. In fall of 2020, the team at Lucky Duck reached out to us to sponsor a record number of EMPWR coats at one time. Since then, they have provided more than 5,000 of our innovative sleeping bag coats to those in need in San Diego. Veronika has visited their team to help with the handouts, and this summer their Executive Director made the trip to Detroit to see our operations in person. We are so grateful for their support and look forward to our continued partnership!

Amber Hinton


Amber began working at Empowerment Plan in November of 2018. After only six months, she was promoted to a production support role; however, with a bachelor's degree from the University of Michigan-Dearborn, Amber knew Empowerment Plan was just a pitstop on her journey to one day becoming a doctor. In the spring of 2021, Amber was hired as a Dialysis Tech at Henry Ford Hospital, bringing her one step closer to her dream. Moving forward, Amber sees herself taking the MCAT and attending medical school, and finally graduating to the title of Dr. Amber N. Hinton. “The dream is to start my own family practice!” Read more about her incredibly inspiring story here.
