Inaugural DART Winter Run Is A Huge Success!

Our first charitable "Run" to help Metro Detroit's homeless people went extremely well. We made four key stops in the City of Detroit and were able to help over 200 people with food, clothing and toiletries. We made some great connections with key organizations like COTS, NSO, Veterans Building and the Hotel Yorba. We also met several individuals that have helped out on their own for years and plan on partnering with them for future events.

The most sought after items were large and extra-large coats. They like to wear layers and the larger sizes make it much easier. There was also high demand for socks and boots. We'll work with DART volunteers to look for more of these in the days to come.

Photos of the event can be seen here.
