The CTCD has worked diligently to respond to the needs of residents during the pandemic through produce distribution days every two weeks. Neighborhood volunteers pass out approximately 5000 boxes including lunches, tissue, masks, and hand sanitizer (see below). Additionally, the Center implemented a shared conference call line to encourage positive social distancing and community connection and empowerment. We have implemented free food boxes for Hollandale, Mississippi, and communities in Memphis, Tennessee with other partners. We are helping to provide the needs of individuals all around our country. “Together we will make the world a better place to live” Links to Articles ● http://www.therenewalproject.com/this-treehouse-in-detroit-will-become-a-center-for-community-and-healing/ ● http://www.mlive.com/news/detroit/index.ssf/2017/09/solar-powered_center_in_detroi.html ● http://www.crainsdetroit.com/article/20170906/news/638246/detroit-neighborhood-group-campaigns-for-solar-powered-therapy#disqus_thread ● http://www.theneighborhoods.org/story/solar-powered-community-treehouse-jefferson-chalmers-believe-it?fbclid=IwAR1JV6PXRwOJQdLUxS8edz--MLKodP03KvSQYS_RNTYhWi0dIUyUoMomujs ● http://www.modeldmedia.com/features/manistique-community-treehouse-100818.aspx ● https://www.clickondetroit.com/news/kresge-foundation-gives-15-million-in-grants-for-18-detroit-neighborhood-projects ● https://www.facebook.com/alica.files/videos/338244407011935/UzpfSTM3ODU2NDA4OTI4NjQzMDo5NzAxNjcwODAxMjYxMjU/ ● https://thewrightmuseum.smugmug.com/The-Wright-2018-Photographs/Shine-A-Light-Ribbon-Cutting/?fbclid=IwAR2I8mKh551kBqdJTdDxC4Fte8gKw1-SE35UJ4qRkXTF1JtrL_ihu4vm0ew ● https://www.secondwavemedia.com/features/nonprofit-journal-project-071320-tammy-black.aspx?fbclid=IwAR3b_giPkTCRi5_lJZ22oEo0y-PMmo3TOOQhjUjir7zMGDOoCSNtr-6FCjg On Going Projects: Manistique Community Treehouse Center Birdwatchers Garden Wheelchair acceptable garden Solar Powerstation Treehouse Staff Office/ Mental Health Office/Dance Space Community Gardening Resource Space/ Tool Rental
