Brightmoor Volunteers

We are sponsoring volunteer projects throughout the year. Groups of 20 - 100 volunteers join us for neighborhood improvement projects in this blighted impoverished area of Detroit where we are building affordable housing. There is a tremendous amount of vacant land in this neighborhood. By clearing overgrowth, dead trees, and trash the living environment for our residents is automatically improved. We have relied on borrowing equipment that is not always adequate for our tasks. With this grant we would purchase tools (loppers and saws) that volunteers will use throughout the year in improvement projects. The neighborhood has a storage container that we can keep the tools and make them available to others in the community when we are not using them
