Who We Are

From Blanket Drives to a Food Pantry

Founded by Karen Cannady, Generous Giving Detroit started as a blanket drive on Martin Luther King Blvd and 3rd Street. Over 14 years, it has grown into a year-round mission providing meals, clothing, toiletries, and now a food pantry in partnership with Christ Temple Baptist Church.

We are a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. All donations are tax-deductible.
