“Disaster Preparedness” Presentation at Washington Square Co-op

By admin on November 14, 2012 in Educational Workshops, OTHER Educational Workshop Topics

Given the current circumstances on the East Coast, we thought it was an appropriate time to provide members with information on how to prepare for emergencies and disasters. As a result, Washington Square Co-op will be hosting an educational presentation on November 27, 2012 titled, “Disaster Preparedness.” The American Red Cross will be providing this educational information and we are hoping that all can benefit from this incredible program!

Metro Detroit Interfaith Warmth

By admin on November 13, 2012 in Household, Resources, Utilities

Metro Detroit Interfaith Warmth

Metro Detroit Interfaith Warmth is an educational program that is designed to educate everyone at our congregations about what is available to help keep people warm this winter. Looking at warmth from three different avenues to help make sure people have the tools to stay warm this winter. 1. Utility assistance 2. Energy Efficiency and 3.Weatherization with state and federal funds available for all 3 to provide discounted if not free services. Until now this information hasn’t been compiled in an easily accessible way that we can share to help keep people warm.

The next step is to work with individual congregations to figure out the best strategy to get this information out. This can be through sermons, presentations, workshops or just having the information available where services are provided. I am here to work with all of you to provide assistance and work with you in whatever way you see fit. Please check out www.metrodetroitinterfaithwarmth.com if you know of other programs beyond this please let me know.

Hope all is well and feel free to contact me with any questions, connect me with people you think I should meet or have information that would be useful to the site as I see this as a community resource.

Thanks,

Joe Rashid

Loans may also cover cost of training to use the purchased equipment, warranties, and service agreements.

The Michigan Assistive Technology Loan Fund (MATLF) supports the purchase of needed technology through low interest rates and loan guarantees. The program does not provide grants. It provides loans, which must be paid back. The program is a unique partnership of United Cerebral Palsy of Michigan and Option 1 Credit Union in Lansing.
