4 the Love of DETROIT

"Too much of Detroit now shows no evidence of the vital city it once was, world-famous for its innovation and spirit. Large portions of the land that sustained us for generations are devastated and sterile.

Before it became an industrial powerhouse, Detroit was part of a great farming region that fed thousands. But now our city is barren of nature, its neighborhoods “food deserts,” empty of markets selling healthy, fresh food to nourish our families. We can, and must, do better, for our children’s sake. "

I first learned of inner-city Detroit and Cass Corridor when in 2007 I started working as the Assistant to Student Ministries at my home church. The Youth Pastor I was working for (and who I still serve with) had visited Cass Corridor in Detroit on summer mission trips for the previous 10 or more years.

Two years later I found myself on a 1-week, high school age mission trip to the Hope Baptist Center on the corner of 2nd and Lendyard Streets, across from Cass Park, north of I-75 in the city of Detroit.

100% of all the money made on Cass Corridor products will go toward EASM Detroit Missions fund and one day toward what I'm calling a "Permanent Presence Fund".

Where's the money going?

All money currently goes to Edgewater Alliance Church Student Ministries, Detroit Missions fund.

I have served in this ministry for 5 years and worked as office support staff for 2 of those years; I trust this group of people; plus I travel to Detroit with them each summer!

I am currently in the process of setting up a non-profit and putting money raised in a "Permanent Presence" fund.
