CARES in Farmington Hills

🚨PRODUCE ONLY POP-UP PANTRY🚨
We are having a special produce-only pop-up distribution at Life Remodeled! Located at 2470 Collingwood St., Detroit 48206 👉Friday, September 6th, 1 - 4 PM (or until food runs out).

Attention, neighbors! ⚡ If you've been impacted by the recent power outage, stop by the CARES parking lot where DTE is providing FREE 💧 water, ❄️ ice, and 🍦 ice cream to help you stay cool and comfortable. We’re here to support our community during this time. Come by and take advantage of these resources until 6pm! 💙

This would feed so many of our families!
What a great idea!

My step dad started a tradition a few years ago of giving us a full cow and pig for Christmas every year❤️ he says he’d rather know we have food for the year rather then something that isn’t specifically a need, but a want. This is one tradition we will work our asses off to be able to pass down to our kids as well❤️

Friends- if you are shopping around this weekend, please keep an eye open for pool noodles with this dimensions .
We need them to line the river for the Duck Race on August7th
We have a lot of thin noodles but need wider ones to thread and use as bumpers for our racing ducks.
They are expensive on Amazon.
Thanks! I will reimburse you if you can pick them up.
All help is greatly appreciated.
