Detroit, MI – Last Friday, The Shumake Family and Friends foundation announced their first annual, Pontiac Grocery Giveaway Crawl taking place on Saturday, November, 17th 2018. Business mogul and Founder of The Shu Foundation, Robert Shumake, has partnered with New Bethel Missionary Baptist Church and Hope Baptist Church to feed over 5,000 Pontiac citizens. The event is quite unique: taking place from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm attendees will travel from location to location to get what they need. Nonetheless, with sponsorship from Pontiac Mayor Deidre Waterman, Forgotten Harvest, Pontiac Meals On Wheels and Dunamis Clean Energy Partners, the event will include free meals, grocery giveaways, and health and wellness checks.
Pastor Keyon Payton of New Bethel Missionary Baptist Church went on to say, “Our mission is to Glorify God through soul winning and service to the community,” as the event succeeds their “Welcome To The King’s Table” charity dinner taking place the Friday night before Saturday’s event.
The ultimate goal of the event is as Shumake says so passionately to “Feed the people” and it isn’t his first time around feeding the homeless and hungry. With nearly eight years of organizing and effectively executing the anticipated Detroit Backyard BBQ – Detroit’s largest feeding event, Shu Foundation has fed over 30,000 homeless and hungry citizens in Detroit.”We’ve [ my family] been blessed and it’s our way to assist during a holiday that’s always about giving thanks”. It’s undeniable that Shu Foundation is recognized for their focus on homelessness in the city of Detroit, and now with Pontiac having the largest population of homelessness in Oakland County, Shu Foundation looks to expand their reach.
