GM, Detroit chamber launch $150,000 neighborhood nonprofit grant program via @sherriwelch @crainsdetroit

Last year, when General Motors Co. put out a request for proposals for the city of Detroit, it received about 100 grant applications mostly from grassroots community groups with important causes.

The groups had heart and were looking to address critical causes, but they weren’t sharing the metrics and social outcomes the car maker requires of its grantees, said GM Chief Philanthropic Officer Lori Wingerter. As a result, those groups didn’t move through the granting process

However, this left Wingerter thinking about what the company could do to help, and that led to joint development of a new neighborhood grant program with the Detroit Regional Chamber.

GM is granting $150,000 to help the Chamber fund the pilot NeighborhoodHub Community Grant program which would provide $30,000 grants to a community group in each of five Detroit neighborhoods.

#Lawnguru is like Uber for your Lawn… Use my code “sylviarox5” for $5 discount #MotownMom (ad) www.lawnguru.co For more details, view here

Being a single mom in the city, it’s really hard to have a dependable person to cut your lawn, when you want it cut.

Now that my son is not around as much, it’s even more difficult and I can’t trust everyone to come out and do a good job.

So when I found the LawnGuru services through Amazon home and business services I was in like Flynn… (I actually don’t know what that means), but I was in love.

I downloaded the Lawnguru app from my Google Play services (because Androids rule) and then I added my property and a credit card. It was really simple. Since my lawn grows when it wants to, I wasn’t locked into a contract. I could step up a one time use when I wanted and then I requested service.

It really feels like Uber for lawn care because depending on the weather and my bank account, I can’t always cut the lawn.

Having this service assures me I can get the lawn cut when I need it cut and keeping my property looking good.

P.S. They also do snow removal also

I highly recommend this service and please use my code “sylviarox5” for $5’s off your next service.

For first time users, you can get $15 off your first request “OwkUnuxZIE”

#MotownMom: Baltimore Ravens Lineman Carl Davis Hosts Cleanup Day for Kids in #Detroit via @Trenchwork94

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Sherrie Handrinos 734-341-6859 SherrieHandrinos@gmail.com   Baltimore Ravens Lineman & Detroit Native Carl Davis Hosts Cleanup Day in Detroit   DETROIT, MI- Baltimore Ravens lineman Carl Davis is back in Detroit to help make a difference in the lives of kids in his hometown.  The 26-year-old NFL pro has three events planned to uplift inner-city kids this offseason, starting with a badly needed renovation of his old football stomping grounds. Davis will kick-off his hometown give back with a Cleanup Day on Saturday, May 5, 2018, from 8am-2pm, to revitalize the dilapidated football field and surrounding area adjacent to his childhood alma matter; McKenzie Elementary-Middle School. McKenzie’s football field, located at 10147 West Chicago in Detroit, was built for the former MacKenzie High School, but shortly after the field was completed the high school was torn down, and the field was left for vandals. Davis, who has already begun recruiting Cleanup Day volunteers, is looking for at least 100 volunteers on May 5 to help him clean up debris, make repairs and revitalize the football field at McKenzie for K-8 athletes.  Anyone wishing to volunteer to help Carl on Cleanup Day can sign up via email at EventsB1M@gmail.com. “It’s important to me that children in Detroit know that they matter to me,” said Davis. “Here’s a whole group of kids and young athletes attending my old school (McKenzie), with a football field right next to them, that have to travel all over the city for field time, because the field is completely unusable in its present state.  The Cleanup Day restoration is one way I can help create better opportunities for these kids to succeed, while letting them know they are cared about and supported.” The 6’5, 327-pound Baltimore Ravens defensive end will also be hosting a free Youth Football and Education Camp for local kids on June 23, 2018, and a free Community Day on June 30, 2018, at the newly renovated field. Davis, who grew up on Detroit’s west side, founded his own non-profit, called the Trenchwork Foundation, in 2017 to focus on community redevelopment in Detroit, and create healthy living, educational, and community opportunities for children in his hometown. For media inquiries or more information contact Sherrie Handrinos at SherrieHandrinos@gmail.com or 734-341-6859.   About the Trenchwork Foundation The Trenchwork Foundation was founded by Baltimore Ravens’ defensive end Carl Davis in 2017. Carl came from one of Detroit’s most disadvantaged neighborhoods.  During his early childhood the area was healthy and thriving, but due to the loss of jobs, the increase in crime, and lack of other essential resources, people began to flee the city.  From this came Carl’s inspiration for the Trenchwork Foundation, with a mission to “Build a Community” and to rejuvenate Detroit’s toughest areas into a thriving community full of opportunities. Davis is very active and passionate about giving back to the Baltimore and Detroit communities.  In the past year, Davis and the Trenchwork Foundation have brought Baltimore Ravens players and police officers together to visit schools and community centers in West Baltimore to talk with kids to help build a better relationship between the community and the police, donated and sponsored new equipment, book bags and gear to the Westside Steelers of Detroit, donated gym bags and book bags to Cody High School students in Detroit, and, along with Brandon Jackson, founder of Greatness Camp, partnered for a Day of Service that entailed providing a local Walmart shopping spree and lunch for Detroit area youth, and distributing backpacks and donations to the area Police Athletic League football teams.
