16 December, 2021

Description

Detour Detroit is partnering with Pope Francis Center & The Apparatus Room for an afternoon of community service and socializing. It is our third edition of the Detour DoGooders series. We’re here to support local Detroit nonprofits, give back to our community, get to know each other AND have a great time doing it. You are invited to one-of-a-kind volunteer hang with Pope Francis Center at TCF Center. Pope Francis Center had been providing vital services to individuals experiencing homelessness for 30 years. They welcome nearly 200 guests a day and provide them with nutritious meals, showers, and laundry, as well as access to doctors, dentists, lawyers and housing providers through free clinics. Every year Pope Francis Center takes over the TCF Center to load up and distribute hundreds of backpacks filled with warm winter essentials. On Thursday, Dec. 16 from 3-5 p.m. Detour members are invited to come learn more about the organization and get busy helping to organize supplies and fill backpacks! After we've fulfilled our volunteer assignment, we will relocate to the Detroit Foundation Hotel, located directly across the street and enjoy cocktails, snacks and community at the Apparatus Room. This event is for Detour members and a +1. RSVP is required. Click here to become a Detour member. Email [email protected] with any questions.
