story
Established in 2018, WAVE Project is the product of a collection of friends that was brought together through the common threads of faith and a desire to serve in the community. The founding six members of WAVE Project met while attending a multi-site church located in suburban Detroit. This group is comprised of multigenerational people that come from a broad range of professional backgrounds: dental, education, finance, and ministry.
While serving within traditional structures at different locations of the same church (arts, child care, small groups, etc.) members of WAVE Project felt inspired to mobilize in order to serve the needs of individuals experiencing homelessness. To do so, the group felt led to make connections with community stakeholders to establish a focus area of service that could uniquely impact the underserved population. Through monthly community outreach events, a variety of meetings with operating service organizations, and extensive research, sharing love by providing mobile showers to those in need became the mission of WAVE Project.
The goal is to recruit, equip, and support people that are passionate about making a difference. This family-oriented project was designed from the start to be relational, not transactional. WAVE Project (welcoming all valuing everyone) is a community supported and intensive organization that strives to build relationships while serving needs.
