    Description

    We are a small non-profit organization in the Brightmoor neighborhood of Detroit (Outer Dr & 96). We have a Free Store which is open every Saturday morning. It offers clothing for adults and children, household items, linens, toys, books, personal care items and more. We have a healthy lunch which our shoppers take "to go" and a variety of other programming depending on the time of year.

    We recently expanded our CAR CARE PROGRAM as many of our clients have problems with their cars - some minor problems while others have major issues. We have a certified mechanic who spends most Saturday mornings with us - assessing and repairing vehicles. The assessment and labor are free and are no charge to the clients. Clients are responsible for purchasing parts if needed. This is a hugely popular program and our mechanic is swamped! We are looking for a volunteer who can assist him with repairs and assessments, answer client questions, ensure paperwork is in order, etc.

    Program runs on Saturday mornings from 8:00am - 12:00pm.
