Veterans Green Bus Crew has purchased a apartment building to create a Veterans Green Village in Detroit and will begin an urban farming project using solar panels, batteries and captured rain water in a shipping container this spring.
Thanks to the MEDC/MISDA challenge grant and help from Resurge Detroit, Flagstar Bank, and C3 Ventures to raise the matching construction funds for this project.
We are still seeking 10k to build the foundation, decking and water catchment systems.

MISSION
The mission of United Peace Relief is to respond to disasters with conventional and alternative medical and humanitarian relief. Disaster relief can be hurricane, storm surge, drought, fire, pestilence, explosion, building collapse, transportation accident or any other situation that causes human suffering or creates human needs that the victims cannot alleviate without assistance.
Our goal is to provide volunteers which are able to give immediate and ongoing support to victims of disaster, to collaborate with other relief organizations, and to affect fundamental change through grassroots community development. We are united in our commitment to promote peace and nonviolence in ourselves and in the world.
