THAT WAS THEN…
It’s been over 5 YEARS since The Depot first opened its doors on January 27, 2017! Since then, we have served 600+ Teens in 6th thru 12th grades from East Jordan and several other neighboring school districts!
For 5+ years, we’ve been open on Fridays during the school year and on Wednesdays during summer break where the Teens enjoy everything from table games like ping-pong, pool, foosball, and air hockey to arts & crafts, puzzles, board games, and more! PLUS, every day we are open, we provide a HOT MEAL for every Teen that walks thru the door!
…AND THIS IS NOW!!!
In addition to the “FREE-FOR-ALL FRIDAYS” (and Wednesdays), we recently added Tuesdays to our programming schedule where Teens can come in for a chill environment to read, work on homework, and, if needed, get some tutoring from our volunteers. We also began providing a Financial Literacy class to the Teens (and community adults if interested) on Tuesdays, too!
Throughout the summer, we will continue our 2-day schedule providing a broad range of both fun and life-skill building activities.
But the growth is NOT STOPPING there! By the end of the Summer, our goal is to add a 3rd day each week and by the end of 2022, we will be providing Depot programming 5 DAYS A WEEK!!!
GETTING THERE
As we prepare to expand operations at The Depot, financial support is one of our greatest needs where your donation will help offset the costs of programming, equipment, technology, craft supplies, staff, meals & snacks, and miscellaneous day-to-day operations to provide everything needed to directly support our community’s Teens.
