We raised the roof!
4/20/2021
We are so incredibly excited to announce that we have raised the funding to completely replace our roof! Thank you to the Margaret Dunning Foundation for funding 55% of the project cost and thank you to an anonymous family foundation that donated the rest of the cost of the project!
The roof replacement project begun mid-April and will be done by early May! After this project is completed we will turn our sights on beginning to improve the interior space of our building. There is always more to do, but we want to take a few moments to truly celebrate this wonderful gift of a new roof and give gratitude to all those that have helped RIR!
We want to thank all of our faithful volunteers that have stuck with us through countless buckets to catch drips from the leaking roof! We are all very happy to be able to soon remove all these buckets!
Lastly, thank you to all of our donors that have supported us over the years and throughout the pandemic. We truly cannot do the work we do without your support.

The Best Gift of All!
We received a wonderful gift at the end of 2020, the deed to the Raeside building and property! The Redford Union School District gifted RIR with the building we have been occupying for the last 5 years. We are very excited to finally have a permanent home after moving 5 times since we were founded in 1998.
Thank you Redford Union School District for housing RIR at 3 other locations and now gifting us a permanent place to call ours!
Building ownership comes with the necessity of fixing the deteriorating roof that is beyond repair. Our goal is to replace this roof with community support in the coming months!
We Have a New Walk-In Cooler!
Since we were gifted the building, we are now able to update the space. We are excited to announce that due to grant funding we were able to install a brand new walk-in cooler! Thank you Margaret Dunning Foundation for your benevolence and support of RIR. With this new walk-in cooler, we are able to receive, store and distribute more fresh produce to our clients. Through the same grant, we also purchased a floor scale that allows us to accurately track our impact by weighing all donated food and food we distribute to our clients.
Hopefully soon, we can safely invite you to stop by and check it out!
Volunteer Spotlight
We want to thank all of our volunteers that have been absolute rock stars throughout the pandemic! We would not be able to serve our neighbors in need without their help! They have worked short staffed and have loaded vehicle trunks outside all winter along with Mary Morrison our Client Services Specialist.
So thank you, thank you, thank you volunteers!
Thank you for taking the time to read about our exciting updates at Redford Interfaith Relief.
