Hey Y'all Detroit Community Initiatives

Hey Y’all Detroit is a grassroots organization that focuses on the five pillars of community, which are: Feeling Connected, Responsibility and Life Skills, Emotional and Physical Well-being, Academic Success and Career Planning, Social Justice and Engaged Citizenship. It is our belief that many disenfranchised communities need to feel and be empowered by the people that live there. The people who live in these communities are the lifeblood of their neighborhoods and Hey Y’all Detroit is fostering safe environments in which children and adults can cultivate an environment that speaks to who they are. 

Our organization currently has three monthly community initiatives:

Hey Y'all Let's Eat-  A free produce drive that helps families heavily impacted by food insecurity shop our mini farmers market. We also deliver produce boxes to families in need. 

Hey Y'all Let's Read- A free kids book fair and book club. 

Hey Y'all It's About Her- A menstrual product health drive that donates care packages filled with both personal and menstrual hygiene products to women in need who live in half way houses, shelters, out on the streets, or in prison. 

We have to remember that we're all in this together, we have to help out our neighbor when they cannot help themselves. When we do this we strengthen our community. Thank you to everyone who has donated, we appreciate every last one of you!
