Kellen never saw it coming. “After almost two years of this I realized that my goal to really help people wasn’t being met the way I wanted, so I decided to make a change…fast forward to today and we have Detroit Reborn.”
“We are so glad to work on this campaign and to give back to the community. As a volunteer with Detroit Reborn, I am glad to give myself away to meet the needs of the community. It is such a pleasure getting involved on this project,” Jane Wilhem.
Detroit Reborn, a local T-shirt company based in Detroit, Michigan founded with a commitment to giving back to the community will be running a campaign to sell 1000 shirts by 4/24 to open a community empowerment storefront in northwest Detroit.
“As part of our campaign, A portion of all sales go to helping issues in Detroit like homelessness, education, domestic violence by supporting our obtaining a community storefront where we will host empowerment workshops, as well as be home to a clothing and food pantry on Detroit’s westside.”
This investment in communities will fuel a tangible and compelling response to the call for service, extending volunteerism and volunteer leader capacity to help solve some of our nation’s most critical issues. Kellen cited a range of community needs that an infusion of trained, managed volunteers could help address, including education, the environment and providing aid to economically-distressed families.
“Our storefront will be hosting free and low cost community empowerment workshops on small business startup, domestic violence and health education. There is going to be an on-site food and cloth pantry where visitors can take or leave things.”
According to Kellen, Owner of Detroit Reborn, “Often, the very best happiness lies in giving, and reaching-out to communities who need support and empowerment.”
