What is Community Outreach?

Community Outreach is a program where our affiliate interacts with our community in ways which support and enhance the mission of  AAUW – D.  All selections reflect the mission of our organization to advance gender equity for women and girls through research, education and advocacy.  Support is thru free will offerings from branch members.

DRIVE BY BABY SHOWER 

Henry Ford Hospital

As AAUW-D members generously did last year, we are asking again for free will donations for a “Baby Shower” for disadvantaged newborns at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit.  We are doing this at the request of the Detroit Club of the National Association of Negro Business and Profession Women’s Clubs, INC.  Items may be donated at our March 8, 2025 General Meeting/Program at the museum at 10:30 am. They will be delivered to the hospital by Membership VP Debbie McBain. Needed are new and unwrapped: infant sized car seats, portable cribs, receiving blankets, snowsuits, sleepers, breast pumps, and t-shirts. Financial contributions in check form should be made out to the Detroit Club-NANBPWC to purchase additional baby items.

Little Free Library 

Springwells Park – Dearborn has  welcomed a Little Free Library to their neighborhood.  This is a project courtesy of the American Association of University Women – Dearborn. The installation has been completed and the Little Free Library has been installed in Springwells Park between Eastham and Duxbury.

Two additional Little Free Library boxes will be installed in the Spring  of 2024. Locations will be in Springwells Park and at the  Dearborn Indoor Skating Center (DISC) located at Ford Road and Greenfield.

 Help us encourage literacy in our community.
