SAY Detroit was founded in 2006 by best-selling author and journalist Mitch Albom. We are committed to working in our city’s neighborhoods, to providing opportunities where there are none, and to lifting our neediest when they stumble.
This is achieved directly through our efforts and through our civil and community partners.

SAY Detroit improves the lives of Detroit’s neediest citizens through shelter, food, medical care, volunteer efforts and education. It is an umbrella organization for ongoing major projects, such as Working Homes / Working Families and the SAY Detroit Family Health Clinic, serving a population from infants to senior citizens, and veterans. It also supports dozens of partner charities in the Detroit area through funds raised at the annual December Radiothon, broadcast live on WJR (760 AM) from Somerset Collection in Troy, MI.
