We'd like to thank all of the State of Opportunity and Michigan Radio fans who came out to our first Day of Opportunity!
About 76 people volunteered, including Michigan Radio staff from State of Opportunity, our newsroom, and Stateside with Cynthia Canty. We were pleased to welcome volunteers of all ages.
Volunteers helped three local organizations with a range of tasks, including gardening, weeding, sorting canned goods, stocking shelves, and getting very good with operating a conveyor belt.
The organizations that welcomed us include: Keep Growing Detroit; Food Bank of Eastern Michigan; and Community Food Club of Grand Rapids.
Day of Opportunity was organized in response to your feedback that you'd like to find opportunities for helping the people and communities featured in State of Opportunity reports.
