Project Description

Please join the Detroit Spartans, JMC313, Izzone students, MSU Greenline, and Pure Michigan Talent Connection as we represent Michigan State during the 3rd annual MSU Global Day of Service. Over the past 27 years, Motor City Blight Busters has been committed to ending blight in Detroit. In conjunction with its coalition of community partners, Blight Busters has hosted 120,000 volunteers who have contributed more than 658,000 volunteer hours to paint 684 homes, board up and secure 379 abandoned buildings, renovate 176 houses, and build 114 new ones to make suitable housing for 1,160 people. The nature of the tasks will completely depend on you. Nobody will be forced to do anything outside of their ability or comfort level. You also aren't obligated to volunteer the entire day. Half days are more than welcome if that's all the time you're able to contribute. ***Lunch and work gloves will be provided. It is recommended you wear jeans and work boots.
