What can 6,000 employees from some of Metro Detroit’s most powerful companies do in just five days? A ton of work that can change lives – both for the volunteers and for the people of Detroit.
Detroit-based Quicken Loans took it one step further – they got together with Carter’s Kids, a nonprofit organization dedicated to developing community parks and playgrounds for children. Together, these volunteers built two brand new playground structures at Pulaski Elementary-Middle School on the city’s east side.
“It’s long been a dream of mine to start making an impact in Detroit, and I know this won’t be our last project in the city. I have to thank the Quicken Loans volunteers – their enthusiasm was unbelievable,” Oosterhouse said.
“The development of these playgrounds will have a noticeable impact on the students and families in the Osborn neighborhood,” said Leslie Andrews, Director of Community Relations for Quicken Loans.
