    2020 Annual Report for Crossroads of Michigan Vol. 43, No. 1 – Summer 2021 crossroadsofmichigan.org Please visit us on Facebook for up-to-date news Our Crossroads Locations A Letter from the Executive Director Crossroads Dear Friend, Main Office, Soup Kitchen and Happy summer! I hope this season of renewal and redemption finds you and yours well and Employment Office looking forward to happy times. The light at the end of the COVID tunnel is glimmering and I know 2424 W. Grand Boulevard you are as ready as I am to get back to our previous lives. Last year at this time, the thought that more Detroit, MI 48208 than a year later we would still be wearing masks, social distancing, and debating further lock downs 313-831-2787 seemed impossible. But, here we are. Thank goodness for the vaccines and the promise they hold. Hopefully, a year from now, we will talk about these times as history and lessons learned. On behalf of Crossroads East @ Salem Crossroads, I can safely say that we have learned many lessons during the past twelve plus months, not 21230 Moross Road, the least of which is that when life hands us lemons, we shouldn’t only make lemonade, but we need to Detroit, MI 48236 share it with everyone we know, in any way we can. The pandemic forced Crossroads to make many changes to our routine. Now, as I look back, I see that this challenge has helped us to grow and prove 313-822-4441 that no matter what difficulties come our way, this agency, our mission, our staff, and our supporters will stand strong.

  • Support Field Trip Fun with the Detroit Historical Society!
    1 WINTER 2017 Support Field Trip Fun with the Detroit Historical Society! Did you know that the Detroit Historical Museum and Dossin Great Lakes Museum host nearly 20,000 school children for tours each year? Our tours inspire, challenge and excite students to learn more about their communities and families. Every year, we welcome kids from K-12 schools across southeast Michigan and even host special programs targeted to home school learners. You can see the excitement of discovery on their faces as they touch animal pelts, mix music on a soundboard, are inspired by Detroit’s great leaders and learn the history of retail and commerce in our region. Our volunteer docents work with our trained educators to make memorable experiences for our visitors every day. And, did you know that thousands of these students visit the museums for free each year, as a part of the Society’s Adopt-a-Class program? It is our generous donors who make these field trips possible for kids whose families and schools cannot afford the field trip experience, including transportation to and from the museums. The Society’s educational initiatives, including the Adopt-a-Class program, bring history to life for students, families and visitors from all over the world each year! Would you like to support programs like Adopt-a-Class? You can! Your support of our Annual Fund helps us to fulfill our mission to “Tell Detroit’s Stories and Why They Matter” for over 100,000 visitors each year. To make a donation today, please visit our website at detroithistorical.org.

Our community has been ravished by a scourge we could not have imagined a year ago. Thousands have died; more have lost their jobs. Parents are scrambling to educate their kids. Strong voices for justice are reverberating in our communities and throughout the country. But there is consolation to be taken in the people who have heroically treated the sick, brought food to the hungry and cared for our most vulnerable neighbors. The essen- tial workers. The heroes. At Detroit Public TV, we have done our best to contribute. We have worked with nonprofit organizations, citizen groups, compassionate individuals – to be the communications and engagement backbone of the community during the COVID-19 pandemic. Hannan Lis As you read the pages in this report, we hope you will join us in thanking our Chair Board of Trustees dedicated staff, board members, volunteers, donors and sponsors who have made this possible. We have never been prouder of being part of a community-licensed public television station. We work every day – perhaps this year more than others – to be there when the community needs us. At Detroit Public TV, it all starts with this mission – engaging, respecting and under- standing the diverse communities of Detroit and Southeast Michigan.
