I have done yearly work volunteer events here for the last 6 years. I don't mind setting up the…read moreevents here since it's closer to home. Much of the food is donated by local stores or restaurants. They get a ton of stuff into their warehouse. They always go through the daily protocol in the big conference room. You are to wear gloves and a hair cover and beard cover for those with facial hairs. Now you can add a face mask to the attire too. You start the event work around 9am and work until 11am to noon. The warehouse job is the hardest. I have sorted through some rough looking potatoes, to water logged and decrepit looking cucumbers and tomatoes. It makes you really appreciate the foods we can easily pick through at the grocery store to get the most appealing ones. Any sign of mold gets tossed. This is the hardest of the jobs, but also the most rewarding since it's labor intensive too. I have also had the pleasure of assembling sandwiches in the kitchen too, with wheat squares of bread, some meat like slices of pork meat of some sort and cheese too. Volunteering your time and energy is greatly rewarding and so helpful to those in need. This is a great center that gives back ro the community. At the end of your day, they will brief you on how many bags or boxes of food were boxed that day. It's the only day big the original big 3 OEMs groups can collaborate and work together side by side without any intellectual property issues too.

Volunteers come in and cook meals - dinner and some lunches - for the families who need to stay here to be close to their children who are in the Detroit Children's Hospital. Every staff member I met here was so kind. They have a great system where the families staying help clean as well. You are responsible for keeping your own room and bathroom clean as well as the kitchen, trash and other common areas. This really helps them keep the cost affordable for families in need. I strongly encourage anyone who is able to donate time, money, whatever you can really to do so to the RMH. They also save the tabs from the tops of soda cans to raise money and I definitely plan on saving mine to send to them. So Thank You RMH for caring about my family and providing a place to stay where we could be near my nephew in the DCH.

I can't emphasize enough how important an organization like this is. I also can't emphasize enough…read morehow difficult it it to reach out to this type of organization so I hope we can do more as a community to make it not as difficult to reach out. I have a parent (mother) who essentially is neglected by the family but particularly the spouse in the family. The spouse will (in front of her) praise her but when she is away he will say that he is a victim of her...when in fact he is the abuser and the manipulator. She essentially spends her days alone writing notes to herself and has stopped communicating with all others including family and friends. When she does have love and kindness shown to her she replies with the same, but the spouse has no initiative to help her get any checkups related to her physical or mental health. While she physically slips away and mentally slips away even further her spouse has made no effort to help her. To me that is neglect and a form of domestic violence. In the past the violence was much more direct with physical abuse (multiple types) and verbal abuse. The victim in this case has no willpower to do anything sadly. Still I struggle to get help and to reach out to this organization or others even though I know I should because the situation is so toxic. My mother remains isolated and stuck in a loop of behaviors (repeated writing notes to herself, repeated lack of communication) that are self-destructive as well. We must do more to make the process easier and to support each other in the community because it is still very difficult..,

I will definitely be back to this location for my next blood donation.
