Our last lunch of 2024 was served this week by volunteers from the Frederick G. Sampson foundation. Inspired by the life and legacy of Rev. Dr. Frederick G. Sampson II, their dedication to community outreach and the social gospel shone brightly from the kitchen window!

We're grateful for their partnership as we continue to build a stronger, more compassionate Detroit. 💙💙
