The River Runs Deep

Shelter kids filled up a truck for a quick ride during the cleanup effort of an empty lot next to the homeless shelter Oaks of Rightness in Monroe, MI. Residents and friends of the shelter under the leadership of pastor Heather Boone cut back the overgrown weeds and brunches in a lot where they also installed a playground structure.

Monroe is a small town half way between Detroit, MI and Toledo, OH. Its biggest claim to fame is being the headquarters of Lazy Boy Corporation. Lazy Boy no longer manufactures furniture here. It imports it from China. Two paper mills and a number of car factories (including Ford) used to operate in the area. They are all gone now. Jobs that are still available in the area are low paying and mostly in the service industry.
