Thieves Aren't Stopping Recovery Park From Serving Detroit

Recovery Park works to re-build on vacant land, create jobs and help to revitalize a historic Detroit neighborhood.

Unfortunately, they recently went through three thefts at their location on the east side of Detroit. But the community is rallying, and I thought it would be a great opportunity to check in on an organization doing important work – from farming to helping returning citizens get jobs – in Detroit.

My guest is Anna Kohn, the Chief Impact Officer of Recovery Park. We talk about their GoFundMe, a link to that is here.
