"Go Bald and Win?"

You might be wondering about the title, “Go Bald and Win.” Well, in Pontiac Michigan there is a wonderful facility called, “The Baldwin Center.” It is there that a group of employees and volunteers develop programs and gather goods/supplies for individuals who need assistance with day care, food, housing, tutoring. clothing etc.

The Baldwin Center opened its doors in 1981. It came about when the pastors of the, now church next door, decided they needed to help the city of Pontiac. On December 15, 1982, the Family Kitchen opened. It’s there that they served meals to people who needed it. They have served over 50,000 meals since. In 1983 an emergency shelter program began. In 1987, the day care was initiated. Later in 91’ the Baldwin Center started to purchase property to help run programs geared towards youth; this included tutoring. Later came the homeless shower and breakfast program, followed shortly after by the opening of the Baldwin Early Learning Center.

Since then all of the programs have been established and people are getting the help they need. With the automotive careers being eliminated, Pontiac has severely depleted. With the help of the Baldwin Center, people are getting essentials they need to help themselves and their families survive. With volunteers, the center can service more people in less time. So do the right thing....Go to the Bald--- and Win!!
