“I’m a people person. I’m a well-wisher. If I can help you personally, I will,” says Maurice A. Farr with a warm laugh that would put anyone at ease. Maurice drives a truck for the Salvation Army Bed & Bread program, one of Ford Fund’s long standing community partners in Detroit.
The Bed & Bread program bridges the gap in access to food, clothing, shelter and other essential resources in Detroit neighborhoods with the greatest need. Maurice and his team crisscross Detroit making stops along three different routes to deliver goods to upwards of 800 families and individuals each day, 365 days a year.
