The High Line Canal Conservancy in Denver, Colorado, is seeking volunteers this summer to help clean up the 71-mile High Line Canal. One of the longest urban trails in the United States, the High Line Canal is an important ecological corridor that runs through 11 governmental jurisdictions in the Denver area. As part of the Conservancy’s mission to preserve, protect, and enhance the Canal in partnership with the public, the Conservancy is hosting a series of community clean-ups. The next clean-up is scheduled for Saturday, July 27, in Aurora.

Food Gatherers knows that summer is for grilling! The “Grillin’ for Food Gatherers” annual community fundraiser was a huge success last month, raising money for the fight against hunger.

In the meantime, there are many ways to support this Ann Arbor nonprofit organization, such as by donating food or funds.

For more than 10 years, Ozone House has been making plans for their “forever home” in Ypsilanti, Michigan, and now the organization is on track to move in by the end of 2019! An anonymous foundation has recently given Ozone house a matching $500K grant to their Front Door Campaign, making it possible for Ozone House to expand into their new 19,000 square-foot Ypsilanti facility on schedule. The new facility will increase their capacity from 5 bedrooms to 16 bedrooms and will consolidate Ozone House’s services for youth in crisis. The new facility will also allow for an on-site job training and education center, dedicated therapy offices, indoor and outdoor recreational spaces, laundry and shower facilities, and a community room.
