We are working with DPSCD to implement several campaigns concerning the needs of our families and students. The first, we have already kicked off and the second I will send as soon as we have it ready. We began our Basic Needs campaign yesterday.

As Focus: HOPE continues to provide essential food to 41,000+ seniors in Wayne, Macomb, Oakland, and Washtenaw counties during this crisis, we are in need of volunteers who are willing to pack food boxes and/or make deliveries to home-bound seniors.

We are following strict social distancing and safety protocols, and volunteers for this program are permitted under Gov. Whitmer's Stay Home Stay Safe order.
