Again, we know that most Metro Detroiters are struggling this year.

We hope that you can find it in your heart

to help us with this very important event,

even if it's just to give your time

to help us prepare, serve and clean-up.





Thank you again for your continuing support of

our efforts to improve our community and

help those who are in need.

Before and After Community Room

We are making progress!!!

Community Center Progress!!!!!!

We installed a drop ceiling in the Multi-Purpose Room of the Community Center. We pray that we can intall a small kitchen area soon. We are trying to raise funds to have the furnace put in at the computer lab/ library. We have to install two furnaces because of the brick wall the city won't let us breach lol. Pictures to come soon.

The New GreenHouse Park

The record label for the english music group Above & Beyond shot a music video next door to th community center on Sept 4 2010. The idea of the video was to transform a vacant weed and trash filled lot into something that would benifit the neighborhood. So here is the new GreenHouse Park!!!! This winter if we can get some topsoil we will grow lettuce and spinach in our new 8'x20' greenhouse.
The song for the video is called On A Good Day. Look out for it. We will post it as soon as we get it.

Thank You Above & Beyond!!!!!!!!!!
