Donation by Best Drug Rehabilitation’s CEO Per Wickstrom to Help Detroit’s Cass Community Social Services (CCSS) Make the Holidays Brighter for Children
(PRWEB) December 20, 2013 -- On behalf of Best Drug Rehabilitation, CEO Per Wickstrom has donated $5,000 to Detroit’s Cass Community Social Services (CCSS) in order to help the organization provide meals, toys and other essentials to children of all ages this holiday season.
Per Wickstrom made the donation on December 16 during a tour of CCSS, which is located at 11850 Woodrow Wilson Street in Detroit. While visiting, he also had the opportunity to meet some of the organization’s incredible volunteers as they prepared and served lunch to women and children.
“Back when I was fighting my own battles with addiction, I went to the CCSS for food,” commented Per Wickstrom. “I cannot describe how meaningful it is to now be in a position to give back, and help this essential organization carry on its incredibly vital work.”
Established in 2002, CCSS delivers programs for food, health, housing and jobs to people living in areas of concentrated poverty across Detroit. Each year, the nonprofit organization serves 1 million meals, and provides temporary, transitional and permanent supportive housing for 285 homeless men, women and children. It also offers a free medical clinic and day program for 100 adults with developmental disabilities, and employs 70 adults within its “Green Industries” initiative, which connects jobs with sustainability.
Added Per Wickstrom: “No matter how bleak things may seem at times in the economy and in our communities, all you have to do is take one look at the amazing work done by the generous volunteers at Cass Community Social Services, and your soul will be elevated and filled with hope for the future. On behalf of Best Drug Rehabilitation, it’s truly an honor to support this organization, and to help make the holidays a bit more cheerful for children across Detroit. No matter how big the problems we face may be, I have no doubt that when we work together and help each other, the question isn’t whether we’ll solve them – but when!”
