Volunteer men’s foundation plans 18th annual city picnic
Flipping gender roles on their
heads, the men of Inkster are
partnering in their annual
Seeds2Feed Foundation picnic
Sunday, June 24.
In its 18th year, the all-men's
nonprofit helps bring the com-
munity together by reaching out
to youth residents of the commu-
nity to teach them self-aware-
ness, self-respect, drug, gang and
sex awareness and to provide a
shoulder for them to lean on. The
foundation is run by men in or
affiliatedwith the city. The volun-
teer members strive to provide
youth with the resources to grow
upwith a strong sense of commu-
nity and positive male role mod-
els, a spokesmannoted.
Seeds2Feed Vice President
Wes Stephens has seen the posi-
tive impact the event has had on
the youth of the city, and advo-
cates for the importance of the
organization.
“Our goal is bring positive
energy and a hopeful image to
our youth,” Stephens said. “As
mentors we share our skills,
experiences and ideas to help
the youth become productive
and positive members of society.
Wewill encourage them to refuse
to listen to the negativity of being
told what they cannot achieve,
and encourage them to believe
they can and will achieve every
goal as long as they believe in
themselves.”
The men will begin preparing
a huge amount of food the day
before the event at Inkster Park
in expectation of hosting hun-
dreds of children and their fami-
lies.
Men and boys affiliated with
the organization often have posi-
tive experiences and stay
involvedwith the group.
Seeds2Feed member Dante
Nix joined the organization in
2009, at 16-years-old. Today, he is
a member who enjoys giving
back to the organization that gave
himhope.
“This organization has had
such a positive impact on our
city, and our picnic brings out the
best in our community,” Nix said.
“This program changed my life
by introducing me to positive
pathways and provided me with
outstanding role models to look
up to.”
Co-founder of Seeds2Feed
Anthony Dooley has watched the
organization connect children
with adults who can assist them
in their goals, and put them in
positions to succeed. This picnic
will be the kick-off to the group's
fiscal year, and will be just the
beginning for activities this year
focused on guiding youth
towards paths of success.
“Our goal is to put young peo-
ple in a position to succeed,”
Dooley said. “Our mentor pro-
gram connects young people to
adults with similar interests. If a
young person is interested in
cooking - we connect them to a
chef. If we see a child excel and
love mathematics - we connect
them to someone in the finance
industry. Our members and
coaches are always available for
these kids, and we look forward
to amazing futures for each and
every one of them.”
The picnic will feature a
bounce house, whirly bird ride,
rock climbing wall, video game
bus, hiphop clown and ice cream
truck. The men leading the event
will be serving food to hundreds
of young people, andwill provide
an opportunity for youth to min-
gle with influential men within
the city.
The event is open to the entire
Inkster community from 2 p.m.
until dusk at Inkster Park, 2025
Middlebelt Road.
U.S. Housing and Urban
Development (HUD) Secretary
Ben Carson traveled to his home-
town of Detroit earlier this
month to announce the first
round of 'EnVision Center' desig-
nations in 17 communities
around the nation, including the
City of Inkster. One of Carson's
signature initiatives, EnVision
Centers will offer HUD-assisted
families access to support servic-
es that can help them achieve
self-sufficiency, thereby making
scarce federal resources more
readily available to a greater
number of households currently
waiting to receive HUD assis-
tance.
Carson and Detroit Mayor
Michael Duggan met with public
housing residents, community
leaders and other stakeholders
at Life Remodeled's Durfee
Innovation Society, among the
first group of demonstration com-
munities named.
“Housing assistance should be
more than just putting a roof over
someone's head,” said Carson.
“These EnVision Centers offer a
more holistic housing approach
by connectingHUD-assisted fam-
ilies with the tools they need to
become self-sufficient and to
flourish.”
Duggan added, “EnVision
Centers are about bringing serv-
ices to people in neighborhoods
and I am thankful that our part-
ners at HUD chose Detroit to
open the first one in the country.
This new center will help make
the most of these services and
facilities that serve the communi-
ty.”
Located on or near public
housing developments, EnVision
Centers will be centralized hubs
that serve as an incubator to sup-
port four key pillars of self-suffi-
ciency-
(1)
Economic
Empowerment, (2) Educational
Advancement, (3) Health and
Wellness, and (4) Character and
Leadership.
Through results-driven part-
nerships with organizations such
as: federal agencies, state and
local governments, non-profits,
faith-based organizations, corpo-
rations, public housing authori-
ties, and housing finance agen-
cies, EnVision Centers will lever-
age public-private partnerships
to connect HUD-assisted house-
holds with services that offer
pathways to self-sufficiency. In
Inkster, the EnVision Center will
be a partnership with the Inkster
HousingCommission.
Housing assistance should
be more than just putting
a roof over someone's head.
”
Men and boys affiliated
with the organization often
have positive experiences
and stay involved with the group.
