Detroit Manufacturing Systems Donated Backpacks to Detroit Area Children

The Children’s Center provides licensed psychiatrists, psychologists, and therapists to work with over 3,500 children annually who struggle with mental, behavioral, educational, and physical challenges or who may have experienced trauma. They use integrated evidence-based care that helps children overcome their challenges; they examine the barriers these children have at home, in school, or in the community; they empower the children to use their voices and self-advocate once they are outside the comfort of the center’s walls.

This year marks the seventh annual Back-to-School Bazaar hosted by The Children’s Center in Detroit. This year, The Children’s Center goal is to receive 1,500 filled Backpacks for children in their program. “We want our children to be equipped with the necessary supplies they need to learn, grow, and succeed this school year,” stated Nicole Wells Stallworth, President and CEO of The Children’s Center. “It’s from the continuous support of sponsors and donors like DMS that we are able to reach our goal every year and help these children thrive.”

Donna Schultz, Executive Vice President of Business Process Excellence at DMS stated, “This is the second year we’ve worked with The Children’s Center, and we look forward to being a part of their overall goal. We continue to find initiatives to work with local organizations to better the community. I’m excited that so many of our team members were able to come together to get these backpacks stuffed and delivered to deserving children in our community.”

“Giving back to our community is an essential part of who we are at DMS,” said Bruce Smith, CEO and Chairman of Detroit Manufacturing Systems. “Helping these deserving children by providing them some of the tools they need to succeed in their education helps improve the lives of the children in our community and their families.”

Students will be given sturdy backpacks that will each include a kit of necessary school supplies geared towards their school group – elementary, secondary, and high school. Students who are part of The Children’s Center will be able to pick up their free backpack in mid-August, prior to the start of school.
