Robert Shumake’s Big Give Leadership Challenge Detroiters Help Neighbors in Tough Times! Despite the economic times Detroiters know how to give and give BIG!
BigNews.Biz - Dec 22,2009 - During Robert Shumake’s Big Give, a donation drive lead by The Robert Shumake Foundation, hundreds of people donated much needed supplies for their neighbors struggling during this so-called “recession.”
At the event held at the Northwest Activities Center, volunteers collected over 22,000 pounds of books, shoes, clothing and medical equipment. The sponsors for the humanitarian effort were Mortgage Auditors of America, Inheritance Capital Group, Jacksonville Urban League, Gary Financial Services, Courier & Fax, the Northwest Activities Center, WGPR and Radio-One.
The coats and outerwear were donated to Greater Grace Temple Church in Detroit. All other items were packed and shipped to the town of Sosua in the Dominican Republic, where the community is desperate for aid. The cost of the donation shipment and aid distribution in the Dominican Republic was underwritten by Mr. Shumake, founder of The Robert Shumake Foundation.
Dr. Robert Shumake continues to challenge the leaders of our community to increase their giving during these desperate times and lead the charge to look beyond the current financial crisis by considering the needs of the less fortunate.
