REDFORD
​INTERFAITH RELIEF

we are a coalition of member churches with individuals and organizations to end hunger and poverty in the Redford Community
Looking back with thankfulness and ahead with connectedness

In 2020 – Thanks to You & God’s provision …
  • We adapted our food operations according to COVID-19 protocols and aligned with food industry and community partners to serve the Redford community faithfully with a core group of dedicated volunteers and staff.
  • We had to cancel the annual Cognizance event but hosted a successful Unity in Community virtual fundraiser in the fall with a community partner.
  • We received the best Christmas gift ever when the Redford Union School District deeded the Raeside building and property to RIR.
  • We planned strategically with Sue Pherson, our Executive Director of 22 years, so she could step down and transfer her valuable knowledge to the new Executive Director, Natalie Emerick, who started in June 2020 as our Program Coordinator.
In 2021 – Together with You …
  • We will recognize Sue Pherson’s legacy as a champion of the Redford community to help feed and clothe our neighbors in need.
  • We will plan an outdoor event this summer to show appreciation to Sue, our volunteers, and community partners for their many years of support, especially during the pandemic.
  • We will launch a capital campaign to raise funds to replace our failing roof.
  • We will continue building relationships and collaborating with individuals and organizations to end hunger and poverty in the Redford Community.

​We are humbled to serve this community as the RIR Board of Directors,

Jeffrey Clark, Michael Kingsbury, Paula Lee-Barnes, John McDowell, Dan Range, Teri Temby

COVID-19 Updates

Thank you to everyone who shared monetary donations, enabling RIR to remain open during the pandemic and not miss any food distribution days. The staff and volunteers appreciated your support and encouragement! Please accept our apology if your donation was not acknowledged promptly.  When many food team volunteers needed to stay safe at home, our board treasurer and assistant treasurer stepped up to help the remaining volunteers receive food deliveries and stock the pantry.

​During this difficult time Redford Interfaith Relief is still working as best as possible to help our families in need. We have changed to a drive up service for food pick up.  Drive up to the curb along Margareta Street to the temporary sign marked "Pick Up."   Upcoming appointment dates will be posted on our Facebook page and here on the Client Services page.   You must have an appointment scheduled with us. 
​
Redford Residents needing emergency food can call 313-387-9802 to make an appointment.

The best time to call is Wednesdays between 10:00am and 1:00pm. If you do not get through please try back. If you leave a message, please only leave one message.  We are praying God's peace, safety, blessings and healing on all our families.
