SAY Clinic’s Baby Shower Celebrates New Moms

shower newsletter feat

Our First Year program helps moms and their families through baby’s first year of life, providing resources and one-on-one counseling.  On Saturday, May 16 the SAY Detroit Family Health Clinic celebrated 40 moms who participate in the program with a baby shower.

A special thanks to all of our sponsors: The Zatkoff Family Legacy Fund, The Whitney, Victoria’s Cupcakes, Kroger, Babylove’s Consignment, Calm, Royalty Birthing Services and the City of Highland Park. 

Seeing so much kindness, support, and generosity meant more to me than words can fully explain. It made me feel seen, supported, and excited for this next chapter of motherhood.

SAY Play Celebrates Graduates

This week, we celebrate our 18 SAY Play 12th-grade students with a special “Senior Send-off”. Thirteen of our students were accepted to a 4-year college or university. Congratulations to all of our high school graduates.

Summer camp starts Monday, June 29, and will welcome 250 registered students.


Special Thanks to our Volunteers

In partnership with Cooper Standard and the Greening of Detroit, SAY Detroit’s A Time to Help planted trees, cleaned up litter, and helped with regular maintenance at MLK Park in Highland Park early this month.

Thank you to our nearly 300 ATTH volunteers who support our mission throughout the year! Watch a volunteer highlight ››

Stay-tuned for summer volunteer opportunities!

SAY Detroit and its Mi-Cycle program were among three nonprofit finalists who were awarded a $10,000 grant this month at the 11th annual “Big Give” hosted by funder Impact100 Metro Detroit.

But there’s more: Mi-Cycle program director Chuck Nagy’s “pitch” to the crowd about the program’s need for a “mobile bike shop” for youth and school outreach spurred 2025 Big Give nonprofit winner Recovery Mobile Clinic to donate one of their used vehicles to SAY Detroit after the event! Congratulations to Elli’s House and the Detroit Public Library Foundation, which both earned the transformational grants of $100,000 each. 


It’s Almost Time to EAT Detroit!
