Brilliant Detroit – Osborn Community Hub received a nourishing gift on Wednesday, June 16 at 13800 Eastburn St. in Detroit.
Suburban Propane partnered with Brilliant Detroit, an organization dedicated to building kid success neighborhoods, to offer over 300 donated meals to children and families served by the nonprofit through its Osborn and Central community hub locations, according to a press release.
The generous meal donation was part of Suburban Propane’s SuburbanCares platform dedicated to supporting community efforts across the company’s footprint in the U.S. This year, Suburban Propane is undertaking initiatives to help children and their families in underserved communities in Detroit and other cities nationwide and has fed healthcare professionals in some of the most COVID-19 affected regions in the nation, including Florida, California, Texas, Maryland, New Jersey, New York and Washington, DC, the release added.
Nandini Sankara, spokesperson, Suburban Propane, provided a statement to the Michigan Chronicle about the initiative and how it began.
“In doing some research for the Detroit area, we came across the Brilliant Detroit organization and after connecting with the lovely CEO and co-founder Cindy Eggleton, we felt it was a perfect match that aligned with what we were doing in other locations supporting children in underserved communities,” Sankara said. “Brilliant Detroit is a wonderful non-profit that provides a radically new approach to kindergarten readiness in Detroit neighborhoods. Their model creates a unique delivery for early childhood development by using underutilized housing stock to create early child and family centers in neighborhoods. … It’s incredibly rewarding and humbling to know we are helping to make a difference together.”
