SAY Detroit says the distribution ceremony was supposed to take place in mid-March, but was postponed until Wednesday due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak.
The organization announced last month that $55,000 of the money raised in December’s Radiothon was donated to the Detroit Rescue Mission Ministries, the Detroit Area Agency on Aging and the Hospital Mask Task Force to assist their response to the COVID-19 pandemic, officials said.
