Redford Interfaith Relief has served its community for nearly 30 years, but an aging HVAC system — estimated to be about 80 years old — is now threatening the organization’s ability to stay open when temperatures drop this winter. (Link in comments)

Dear Friends and Neighbors - we need your help to keep our doors open!

https://www.rocketcommunitychallenge.com/story/a93g1g

Right as winter was ending, our boiler suffered a catastrophic failure and must be replaced. We limped through the final weeks of cold weather with space heaters, layered clothing, and an incredible amount of determination from our staff and volunteers. It wasn't ideal, but we were committed to keeping our doors open. We cannot, however, ask our volunteers—most of whom are senior citizens—or the vulnerable neighbors we serve to endure another Michigan winter under those conditions. While replacing heating and cooling equipment may not be as inspiring as filling pantry shelves or delivering groceries to a homebound senior, it is every bit as essential to fulfilling our promise.

At first glance, a $110,000 project can feel overwhelming. We believe it is achievable because we are starting off with $45,000 of matching funds from the Dunning Foundation. If we reach our $65,000 goal - the project will be fully funded!

In addition, every local commitment strengthens our ability to secure matching grants and foundation support. Your pledge doesn't just fund a portion of an HVAC system—it helps unlock additional investment from partners who want to see their dollars matched by a community that believes in its own future. Together, we can leverage every gift to multiply its impact.

We are also open to any and all leads for additional sponsors, grants or even an HVAC company willing to work with us. Please feel free to message our page with any information.
