In August, residents of Baltimore, Detroit, Miami, Minneapolis and Seattle voted for their favorite community projects to receive a donation from Cricket Cares to revitalize local neighborhoods deserving much needed TLC.
In the months following the close of the competition, employee and volunteer teams from Cricket and Rebuilding Together worked side by side to repair and improve important community structures in each city.

Replacing closet doors, and installing new closet shelves, room dividers and a projector with retractable screen, are just some of the repairs Cricket Cares made to the GEDCO Cares facility. The aid makes it possible for the community organization to continue to help those in the area facing financial hardship.

So its members could focus on skill building, employment readiness and personal goal setting, the Cares team much needed repairs and improvements to the Cass Community Social Services facility. They cleaned up and repainted the interior and exterior of the building, repaired broken brick, installed a new bench, and restored and stained the existing deck and wooden entrance.
