Beyond Basics is a nonprofit whose business office is located in Southfield, MI. We often have need for groups to come to our office and do one or two day activities such as:
- Sort coats
- Inventory school items and art supplies
- Glue book covers
- Sort and label books
- Stuff envelopes and make gift packets
We have hosted groups such as college or high school students needing community service credit, corporate groups looking to "give back" in their community for a day, church or youth groups looking for a volunteer project, etc.
We also always have need for individuals to work on these sorts of projects.
