Our Innovation Fund grant is supporting the renovation of a downtown Dexter building into a one-stop hub for community care. The first floor will house an open-shopping food pantry, reducing waste and offering neighbors food that meets their needs and preferences. Future floors will provide free space for organizations to deliver vital services such as counseling, WIC consultations, and job readiness training. This innovative project will expand access, address food insecurity, and strengthen community connections across the greater Dexter area.
