To The Michigan Freedom Center

Freedom Center is a unique, privately funded hospitality center for members of our Armed Forces traveling through Detroit Metropolitan Airport (DTW). Located close to the center of the McNamara Terminal, near Delta’s Gate A43, we are open every day of the year. Normal operating hours are 6:00 am until midnight. However, as needed, we staff the facility around the clock to accommodate folks who have experienced weather delays, canceled flights or missed connections. Continue…

Assistance

Freedom Center at DTW offers a variety of services to meet the special travel needs of in-transit military personnel and their families.

Serving those who serve us…

Our mission is to provide a world-class reception and hospitality center for military personnel at the Detroit Metropolitan Airport. Our goal is to provide a relaxed, home-like atmosphere that embraces and meets the needs of traveling service members and their families. This facility is supported and staffed by individual volunteers and organizations from surrounding communities and the airport. Our doors are open to individuals on active duty, National Guard members, Reservists, and service academy cadets. We also welcome military dependents, retirees and, space permitting, all veterans.

How You Can Volunteer…

Meeting the needs of our guests is the sole purpose of the Freedom Center. Everyday our volunteer staff members step up to meet that challenge. We’re always looking for dedicated, reliable, and talented individuals to join our team. Some volunteers work weekly shifts on-site greeting guests and assisting with their needs as they travel; others work remotely providing various other services and support. We are particularly in need of volunteers who are able to work between midnight and 6 A.M. to assist our overnight guests.
