Ray Score, Finance Manager, volunteers at the Pope Francis Center in Detroit, Michigan. The center provides hot meals, laundry facilities, showers, medical attention, and legal services for the homeless community of Detroit. All of which was hard to preserve with social distancing rules. “Seeing how impactful and valuable the services are to the community that they aid, I got inspired to seek the MIT grant,” says Ray. Henkel’s ‘Make an Impact on Tomorrow’ (MIT) grant enabled the center to continue offering their services at a time when it was most needed. Ray and other volunteers helped to keep the center open, nevertheless. They moved their services outside to accommodate social distancing, where they provided pre-packaged meals, outdoor portable bathrooms and hand washing stations and showers. “I am grateful and touched by Henkel’s commitment and desire to provide support for communities in which we work and live, and their charitable efforts in a time of such great need.”
