Cass Volunteer Saturdays

The volunteer work varies month to month. Contact Laura Kelly to learn more. Depart from the Brighton Campus parking lot at approximately 8 am to travel together to Detroit and return by approximately 4 pm. Bring your lunch.

Cass Community Social Services meets people in need, where they are in life, by offering food, affordable housing, skill building, and vocational training which promotes self-sufficiency, on a sustainable pedestrian campus and as part of the larger community.

The ways First UMC volunteers have served includes:

• cleaned, mended and painted rooms for affordable housing
• set up beds for warming centers
• weeded gardens, trimmed shrubs, planted trees and flowers, mowed grass and cleaned outside to beautify and make areas safer for residents
• prepped mass quantities of bacon and eggs for breakfast, assembled sandwiches and packaged lunches to feed the community
• sorted and shredded paper to recycle and raise money for fighting poverty.
