S.A.Y. Detroit

S.A.Y. Detroit (which stands for Super All Year Detroit) is a fully formed 501(c) (3) charity and operates as an umbrella organization for charities dedicating to improving the lives of the neediest, including A Time to Help, S.A.Y. Detroit Family Health Clinic, and A Hole in the Roof Foundation. It distributes money to shelters in Detroit for projects specifically designed to help the plight of those in need. Its projects to date include the building of a state-of-the-art kitchen at the Michigan Veterans Foundation shelter and a day-care center at COTS for children of homeless women.

Mitch Albom started the Dream Fund at the College for Creative Studies in 1992 to provide funding for under-served children to participate in the arts and to instill confidence in our youth. Since that time, CCS has utilized the Dream Fund to support visual, performing, summer “Week at a Time” youth scholarships, community art programs, and even the Detroit 300 project in 2001.

The Dream Fund has raised over $115,000 in scholarships since its inception in 1991.

A Time To Help was established in 1997 as a means of galvanizing the people of Detroit to volunteer on a regular basis. A Time To Help has staged more than 100 monthly projects ranging from building houses, delivering meals, beautifying city streets, running adoption fairs, repairing homeless shelters, packing food, and hosting an annual Christmas party to a shelter for battered women.

The mission of A Hole in the Roof Foundation is to help faith groups of every denomination who care for the homeless to repair the spaces in which they carry out their work and offer their services. The seed that gave root to the Foundation – and also inspired its name – is the I Am My Brother's Keeper church in Detroit, MI. Here, despite a gaping hole in the roof, and no matter how harsh the weather, the pastor tends to his community to provide spiritual nourishment and a sanctuary for the homeless.

In December of 2008, S.A.Y. Detroit opened the city’s first ever free medical clinic dedicated solely to homeless children and their mothers. Services are FREE OF CHARGE to all children and adult women who are uninsured or under-insured. The Clinic provides a wide range of free maintenance and preventive health services. On-site diagnostic equipment assists the medical professionals in addressing a variety of health conditions, and health education is provided on site for individual clients and small groups. It was made possible largely through the generosity and hard work of Cooper Standard Automotive and its CEO, Jim McElya.
