Feeling very thankful this Thanksgiving! This past month we have received over 100 Empowerment Coats from Empowerment Plan. Through a generous donation from Blake Farms AND in collaboration with our partners at Wolverine Street Medicine. The Empowerment Coats are incredibly versatile and are effective up to temperatures well below 0 degrees! They function as a large parka and sleeping bag all in one! These coats have been distributed to many of our friends on the streets in an effort to keep them warm through the winter.
Empowerment Plan is a Detroit based organization that embodies sustainability in the community. Aside from producing these parkas, Empowerment Plan hires straight out of the local homeless shelters, serves their employees 2-3 meals per day, AND provides their employees with a GED education program. DSC is so lucky to be able to work with this amazing company.
