About

Give TENN: Fuel the Fun. Feed the Community. Build Food Justice.

Hunger isn’t fun—but giving can be! As food insecurity rises in Detroit, the Titan Equity Nourish Network (TENN) is stepping up with a Day of Giving campaign that turns generosity into real, delicious impact. We’re raising funds to stock families with high-demand, nutrient-rich staples like protein and dairy—the good stuff that keeps our community strong.

Your Gift = Instant Good Vibes + Real Nutrition

  • $14 = Protein & dairy for 1 family for 1 full week

  • $138 = Support for 10 families

  • $830 = Nourishment for 60 families

No confusing math. No complicated process. Just big-hearted giving that makes a difference fast.

Why This Matters (and Why It’s Awesome)

Yes, we’re tackling food insecurity—but we’re also building something bigger (and way cooler). TENN connects students, neighbors, and community leaders to learn, grow, and work together for food justice. It’s hands-on, heart-forward, and rooted in real relationships.

When you give, you’re:

  • Getting nutritious food to families who need it

  • Powering student-led work for equity & sustainability

  • Strengthening a community where everyone can thrive

That’s impact with a smile.

Where Your Gift Goes

Every dollar helps TENN and the New Martin Park District Association provide:

  • Protein and dairy for monthly family food boxes

  • Fresh items for our shared community fridge

  • Support for a neighborhood-driven network of care

Your generosity = full fridges + fuller hearts.

We’re Aiming for $1,000—Join the Movement!

Let’s hit this goal together and show what a joy-filled, justice-focused community can do.

Give today. Nourish tomorrow. Make it TENN times better.


You can make a one time gift or choose to make a larger gift over time by choosing the recurring gift option.
