Cass Community Social Services (www.casscommunity.org) fights poverty and creates opportunity in the city of Detroit. The agency operates with a person-centered philosophy, dedicated to providing food, housing, health services, and job programs.

The volunteer work varies month to month. 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.

Join one of our Saturday missions (generally the third Saturday):  Sept. 14, Oct. 12, Nov. 9, and Dec. 14.

Each month we depart from the Brighton Campus parking lot at approximately 8 am and return by approximately 4 pm.

Bring your lunch.
