For the first time ever, A Time to Help added a second event (aka pre-gamer) in advance of SAY Detroit’s annual Christmas Party to benefit The Salvation Army Harbor Light in Detroit: a decorating party.

It was a stunning transformation, from beginning to end.

For three hours , more than 30 volunteers from A Time to Help helped beautify the area around Cass Community Social Services’ Tiny Homes neighborhood.

Sure, there was a sprinkle here and there but Buckets of Rain made sure our 20-member group kept busy.

In assembly line fashion, more than 20 volunteers joined Mitch Albom and Ken Brown for one of the largest one-day food drives in the country.

Nearly 20 volunteers from A Time to Help joined more than 100 others for Comcast Cares Day, a national day of service on Saturday (April 21) at the S.A.Y. Detroit Play Center at Lipke Park.

In a span of three hours, 25 volunteers transformed the walls of the main hallway of the Detroit Rescue Mission Ministries’ women treatment facility from stark white to pretty in pink.

Led by Mitch Albom and his radio show partner, Ken Brown, nearly 40 volunteers spent a Saturday morning at the Arts & Scraps Warehouse in Detroit.

The final tally was impressive: 1,281 soup mixes and 334 spice bags. S.A.Y. Detroit’s army of volunteers held their first project of 2018 at Motown Soup in Utica.
