Sharing the Giving: April 8th at 11am EST
For about one hour, one day every year in the springtime, a room in the Fisher Building is the happiest place on Earth. While circumstances prevented us from gathering in-person this year, generosity and the spirit of community won’t be cancelled. On behalf of Mitch Albom, founder of SAY Detroit, and Dr. Chad Audi, President of the The Detroit Rescue Mission Ministries, we invite you to join us for a virtual presentation of our Radiothon fund distribution ceremony, as we award more than $1.3 million to nearly two dozen area charity recipients.

A Time to Help is heading back indoors next month for its second project of 2020: Volunteers will lend a helping hand at the @detroitwatrerice store in downtown Detroit. Created by #SAYDetroit founder @MitchAlbom, DWIF opened in August 2015. All profits support SAY Detroit and its umbrella of programs and projects that help Detroiters in need. We’ll be doing a deep cleaning and organizing of the storefront and storage room. ATTH requests that all volunteers be at least 15-years-old for the project. Any teens must be accompanied by an adult. And remember: All volunteers must register through our volunteer system - see #linkinbio!⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #volunteers #detroitwaterice #Detroit #volunteerwork #volunteering #volunteeringisfun #notforprofit #communityservice #socialgood #volunteerlife #nonprofitorganization #nonprofit

It wasn’t difficult for Kevin Werner to put into words what Saturday’s A Time to Help project at the Senate Theater meant to his organization that has operated the iconic Michigan Avenue landmark since the early 1960s.⠀ ⠀ “To do as much as your group did today, it would have cost us several thousand dollars, at least,’’ said Werner, who serves as secretary and co-treasurer of the nonprofit Detroit Theater Organ Society. “Volunteerism is the engine of society. If you want to get it done, get volunteers — because they care.”⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #senatetheaterdetroit #senatetheater #Detroit #detroitvolunteers #volunteer #volunteering #volunteeropportunities #volunteeropportunity #nonprofits #ourcommunity #socialchange #givebacktothecommunity #socialimpact #wurlitzer
If you were unable to make a parent meeting last week, two additional options have been added for February. Attendance by a parent or guardian at one start-of-term meeting is mandatory, as it helps create a stronger support system for our young people. Parents will learn more about activities, opportunities and events at the Center, and have the opportunity to meet the staff.
Such an exciting day for SDPC! #detcaravan #saydetroit
Many thanks to @stagecraftersmi for raising awareness about our mission and services through its Community Cares Campaign, which spotlights area nonprofits, during the current run of #ForeverPlain (Jan 17 - Feb 9). In opening week alone they raised more than $250 from the audience's "pass a hat" contributions. There is also a limited supply of signed Finding Chika books available for purchase for a $25 donation before the show. All proceeds go to SAY Detroit.
