I have had the privilege of partnering with LifeBuilders Detroit for the last 7 years. LifeBuilders is truly an exceptional nonprofit organization. Their dedication to revitalizing Detroit communities is both inspiring and impactful. From their comprehensive housing initiatives to their community engagement programs, LifeBuilders demonstrates an unwavering commitment to fostering hope & change. Their transparent approach and effective strategies make a significant difference in the lives of many residents. It's clear that LifeBuilders is not just improving neighborhoods but also building a stronger, more resilient Detroit. I highly recommend supporting this organization for their outstanding work and positive contributions to the community!

When I was introduced to the LifeBuilders community I was coming from a background of being homeless. For an adult senior this can be very disappointing. Life can leave you feeling useless and the only thing you have is your individual personality. Once the strength to smile returns, everything else becomes minor. LifeBuilders afforded me a place to regain, restore and resume an upright posture. Even more, they have entrusted me to manage a vital area of ministry, especially among seniors - food insecurities. Thank you LifeBuilders for your service, faithfulness and community support.

I have had the opportunity to witness the transformation that Life Builders has been part of since they started nearly 20 years ago! To see the love for the community they have and the different programs they have implemented, especially for the kids, has been a blessing to follow and be part of! The best part, they are not done yet! They are pouring into their young leadership to carry forward the mission they have for the Regents Park neighborhood.

I have been involved with LifeBuilders for several years now. What I consistently witness on both sides is genuine joy. Those who volunteer and serve do so with heartfelt dedication, while those who benefit from the programs are gracious and appreciative.

The programs implemented are carefully planned and serve important purposes. Above all, the foundation of everything is centered around Christ.

Life builders is an amazing place that brings all the neighborhood kids together and gives them something to do for the summer/school year. It is an amazing opportunity for kids to get active and find friends whilst learning the word of god and getting help from leaders! Not only that but they give back to the community by going out and doing yard work for the community chopping trees, fixing gardens, mowing lawns which is such a good way to get the teen leaders and volunteers active and with each other! Life builders is just so much to so many people there’s something for everyone! Adults, children, teens, dancers, athletes. At life builders I found that no one is left behind.

LifeBuilders is truly a blessing. I needed something for my daughter to do at the last minute. I was so grateful LifeBuilders was available. This was truly a single parents blessing. My daughter enjoy the camp. The bus was able to come and get her as well as drop her off at home. They even learn about the bible. I would recommend them to everyone.

I have been a volunteer with life builders for two years now. Each year we have been able to bring a team here and volunteer to work with life builders. I love the heart of the staff. They have a caring heart and a strong desire to honor God with their gifts and talents. We as a youth group have wanted to find an organization that we can come alongside and life builders has been a great fit for us. Thank you guys for some amazing years! Looking forward to more!

Love supporting and working with LifeBuilders! The work they have done to restore homes in the neighborhood has impacted so many, but the biggest impact has been the investment in the lives of those living there. The programs for kids, teens, senior citizens , and seeing the results of that in their lives is huge!!
