Second Mile Center
Help us keep our doors open so that Second Mile Center of Detroit can continue to be the bright spot in this neighborhood. Kids here need a safe place to be after school and in the summer away from gang violence. If SMCD doesn't exist these kids will go hungry, join gangs, become violent, not go to school, and end up dead or in jail. SMCD helps nurture these children, keeps them safe, feeds and clothes them, helps them with their homework, plays with them, and provides opportunities for them that they would never get elsewhere. Watch this video to meet Ruth Azar, the program director and some of the children at SMCD.
