At W.I.S.E., we believe in building nurturing environments to help shape our community. In our community, 27% of residents live below the poverty level. To combat that, we're building two new greenhouses to help us continue giving back to the Dexter & Linwood community. If you would also like to be a part of this mission, you can donate to our Give-a-Dime campaign that is linked in our bio.

Detroit, our city was built by people who refused to be silent. Our parents and grandparents marched, organized, and stood in long lines so we could have a say in our future. Now it’s our turn. Every school, every street, every neighborhood is shaped by the people who show up. Let’s show up for Detroit on Tuesday, November 3.

🌿 Help Us Build Echoes of the Community 🌿

Every neighborhood has a story. Ours deserves a place to live forever.

We’re so excited to share that W.I.S.E. Partnership has launched a GoFundMe campaign to build Echoes of the Community, a winding storytelling pathway at the W.I.S.E. Central Hub in Detroit’s 48206. Along this path, art, words, and living green space will tell the history of this neighborhood.

Our W.I.S.E. art team, a group of talented women artists, is building it alongside young people from our Power of Our Voice program. Together, they are honoring the farmers, mothers, and teachers who helped shape this community. The art our youth create will live permanently in the greenhouses at the W.I.S.E. Community Farm, right where the pathway leads.

Your gift will help cover landscaping, construction, and carpentry, and it will support the artists and young people bringing this lasting space to life. We want Echoes of the Community to be a source of pride for our neighbors and a destination for visitors from all across Detroit and even Canada.

Thank you for helping us make room for these stories. 💛

👉 Donate today: https://gofund.me/696d4eb01

Please share this post with your family and friends. Every gift and every share helps.
