We are happy to provide these meals with a warm heart and appreciate the opportunity to do so.
We look forward to seeing you all bright and early on Christmas morning. To sign up as a volunteer, visit https://www.detroitseniorsolution.org/how-to-give/volunteer/ and complete the form at the bottom of the page.

Mary Church Terrell (1863-1954) worked as an activist alongside the likes of Ida B. Wells to bring suffrage and civil rights to Black American women. She saw the right to vote as a catalyst for elevating Black women. Her words-"Lifting as we climb"-became the motto of the National Association of Colored Women (NACW), the group she helped found in 1896. She was NACW president from 1896 to 1901.
Today, we honor Mary Eliza Church Terrell on her birthday for her passion, drive and victories during the civil rights movement.

This month we celebrate you. Thank you for all you do.
