RAHAM Detroit — Response Able Hands and Minds — helps communities on the city’s northeast side. RAHAM brings the community together and provides a sense of pride by beautifying the neighborhood, clearing lots, and establishing gardens. The organization is on a mission to “move upon and improve upon” people, places, and things within their community and beyond. RAHAM aims to do this by giving love, education, opportunity, cultural creativity, and more. Its programs provide assistance with yard work, signage for yard sales, and aid for starting businesses, growing food, transportation, and more. The organization says it strategically based the organization in the 48205 ZIP code of Detroit because there is an overwhelming need there. The vision of RAHAM is to use the program in the area, called the Saratoga community, as a model to build programs in other areas.
