John,

Each month, we give you an opportunity to support impactful nonprofit organizations doing important work in our communities. During this holiday season, I want to uplift Brightmoor Connection in Detroit, which provides residents with healthy food, clothing, water, heat, and safe shelter.

Brightmoor Connection offers their clients the dignity of shopping through a grocery aisle, without the stigma of a traditional food pantry experience, serving 1,700 families each year, providing 80 – 100 pounds of food per monthly visit.

This holiday season, join me in supporting Brightmoor Connection Food Pantry with a donation of $5 or more. Your donation goes toward addressing food insecurity, home heating costs, sheltering needs, and more.

Thank you for your generosity this holiday season, ensuring the most vulnerable members of our community have what they need to survive and thrive this winter.

John,

When we talk about combating poverty, it’s not just through critical federal programs such as SNAP food benefits and the federal housing program. So much important work happens right in our communities.

The Brightmoor Connection is on the frontlines of combating poverty in our community, which sits well below 200% of the federal poverty level.

Based in the Brightmoor neighborhood of Detroit, where many historically marginalized people live, the Brightmoor Connection serves 1,700 families each year. They offer their clients the dignity of shopping through a grocery aisle, without the stigma of a traditional food pantry experience. People receive about 80 – 100 pounds of food per monthly visit. They can also pick up other resources like clothing, and shop by appointment. And the Brightmoor Connection provides a water station because, outrageously, thousands of residents in our community do not have access to clean water in their homes.

This holiday season, food pantries across the country rely on our generosity in order to serve those most in need. Will you join me in making a contribution to the Brightmoor Connection Food Pantry, an essential resource for Detroit’s community?

When Senator Bernie Sanders visited my congressional district, I took him on a tour of my community. And one of our important stops was at the Brightmoor Connection Food Pantry.

Your donation today is greatly appreciated during the holiday season to assist families with addressing food insecurity, home heating costs, and sheltering needs.

Please, join me in making a generous donation to Brightmoor Connection and help families in our community experience healthy, nutritious meals, heat, and safe shelter during these winter months.

In love and service,

Rashida
