Dear Friends,

As we all know Detroit is on hard economic times and its getting harder. This is a perfect time for grassroots community building. This is when organizing our community to network with other organizations in and around Detroit to help those in need is most important.
Detroit Burners without Borders is an opportunity to help others in your area. You do not have to give money (but if you do that would be great) which you may not have instead give of yourself and get out and do community service that not only helps others but leads to building stronger community, networking and friendships with people you might not otherwise come in contact.  

If we as concerned and proactive citizens get together to combine forces to volunteer, support and assist others we will succeed in not only building a stronger city and community but what we will accomplish spreading hope to people who will, if we are lucky, be motivated to join us in making this city one where we can all be proud to say we are from.  

Plans in the works are to work with Habitat for Humanity on building a home, to have Burner Blood drive with the help of the Red Cross and to  continue the wildly successful  Burner Back Pack Project. This project involves creating back packs with items that the homeless can use to make their lives a little easier. With Burner camping sensibility packs have been created that include items like; hats, socks, can openers, gloves, hand warmers, and rain ponchos. To read more about this project and what efforts are currently being done to help the homeless in Detroit, click on our Facebook Page Here.

So won’t you join us in our upcoming events and please brainstorm with us on ways that we can continue to help others! Who in your city do you see that needs help? What organization could use a robust crew of like minded citizens to come in and help them on a project? These events could be one time or on going it matters not…what matters is that they are!!!  
Looking forward to burning with you!
