Community Service Assignment Created a Binky Angel in Detroit

Susan Finch | she didn't realize how much fun she'd having making blankets for others | About Us > From the section: News
November, 2016 |

COTS shelter in Detroit has a new friend, -Shannon H has been making binkies for them for over two months. She was "inspired" by needing to complete 90 hours of community service. YAY US! We win, the kids win and SHE wins, big time. 

She says, "I actually quite enjoy making these Binkies. Even after my 90 hours are fulfilled, I'm sure I'm going to keep going on them.  They're therapeutic for me, and after I leave the shelter from donating, I feel so good."

A bit about COTS shelter:

COTS'  Emergency Shelter operates at capacity throughout the year, offering programs and providing services for more than 800 men, women and children daily. COTS exists to alleviate homelessness by providing an array of services that enable people to achieve self-sufficiency and obtain quality affordable housing. COTS also exists to advocate for long-term solutions to the problems of homelessness.
