April 2025
The Community House is back to being The Community’s House it had been for over nine decades, delivering on our mission to help others with outreach programs for those in need – and we thank the community at large for being so supportive.
We have resurrected cherished programs like 21st Century Leaders; and our wellness program to help prevent teen obesity. We have reinstated our partnerships with invaluable nonprofits such as Birmingham Youth Assistance, Horizons Upward Bound of Cranbrook, and United Community Family Services. We now assist nonprofits where they feel they need the most help whether it be offering discounted space, scholarships, class art supplies, helping feed food insecure families, or marketing assistance. And we hope to work with more nonprofits.
Below are wonderful programs and events we hope you will enjoy. Call 248.644.5832 or go to communityhousehelps.org to register. We look forward to seeing you.
