Coming Together to Serve: FOCUS Detroit Partners with Detroit Catholic Central High School to Reach Neighbors in Need
FOCUS Centers unite communities to meet the needs of their neighbors, a mission that’s vital in places like Detroit, MI., where challenges tied to poverty run deep. In Detroit, Director Adam Murphy led a recent drive to bring comfort and essential support to those facing these challenges. Partnering with Detroit Catholic Central High School, FOCUS Detroit mobilized 29 students, school staff, and FOCUS Detroit volunteers to collect, pack and deliver donations of clothing, bedding, and other essentials— enough to fill a moving truck with supplies— more than 60 large bags!
These items were generously donated by Detroit Catholic Central High School families following the schools annual rummage sale.
The impact of these community partnerships is transformative. The collaboration between FOCUS Detroit and Detroit Catholic Central wasn’t only about delivering aid; it strengthened the community bonds that are crucial for long-term change. Students and staff saw firsthand the struggles facing their neighbors, and through their dedication, they became more connected to the people they serve.
Such connections fuel FOCUS Centers across the country, nurturing a spirit of compassion that will help build resilient caring communities. To support FOCUS Detroit or to learn more about their work, visit URL or give now to make a lasting impact.
