Detroit non-profit loses transportation and worries it can't help homeless

6 years ago

The Detroit-based non-profit The Ark is asking for the publics help after the car they were using to transport food for the homeless broke down.  “It would be very difficult obviously with everything I said that happens with that short period of time to bring it all together if we don’t have the reliable transportation,” said CEO Karen Gates.  The group feeds around 100 homeless people at Roosevelt Park every Saturday for the past 17 years. The non-profit has other endeavors that help the homeless get off their feet, but their biggest project is the Saturday meals. It’s something the homeless in the community have come to rely on.
