For the March community meeting, we have the following confirmed agenda items:

• Charter Commission - Nicole Small

• Julie Jozwiak - DTE

• Habitat for Humanity - Relationship Rebuilding

• E Warren Building - Gregoire Eugene-Louis

We'll also update you on various MorningSide committees. Have an item for consideration? Please email morningsidecommunity2@gmail.com/.

The Morningside/Gleaners food distributions are held at the Craft Cafe, 15641 E. Warren Ave, at 11:00 a.m. on the second and fourth Monday of every month. The staging area is located in the rear of the Craft Cafe on Balfour facing E. Warren.

The setup is intended to operate as if it's a drive thru making it easier to access goods and creating a swifter motion to serve as many families as possible. For anyone interested in donating or volunteering, please contact Twiana Odom at (313) 808-3493. Text message is preferred.

Brilliant Detroit - in partnership with the Craft Cafe, Starbucks, and the MorningSide community - present a Trick or Treat Candy and Book Giveaway. The candy route will begin at the Craft Cafe and end at 5050 Balfour. Please remember to wear your mask. Click to see the flyer.

MorningSide is having a fall bike ride as a way for neighbors to get exercise and explore the neighborhood. The meet-up location will be at Three Mile-Munich Park, 2pm sharp. On the ride we’ll highlight various examples of creative land use in our neighborhood.

All riders are encouraged to wear their bike helmets and face masks, as social distancing will be emphasized. For more info, please contact Nic Hall at (815) 354-2092 or Twiana Odom at (313) 808-3493.

Get ready Morningside! On Saturday, August 22nd, we will be having our community-wide garage sale! This event is open to all members of our community, so if you're looking for a way to declutter some items that are no longer needed in your home and may be of value to someone else, this is the event you need to register for.

To register, please contact MCO President, Jackie Grant at (313) 720-3904.
