IN SERVICE OF OUR FRIENDS & NEIGHBORS

"Community is not just an ideal; it is people. It is you and I."

JEAN VANIER

IN SERVICE OF OUR FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS.

The Warren Community Foundation (WCF) was formed for the coordination, marketing, and implementation of various community events designed to promote the welfare of the City of Warren, Michigan, and to donate the proceeds to charitable and educational organizations doing good works. WCF believes the best way to bring people together is to get them out of the house and talking to one another. Through engaging activities meant to connect each attendee, we will raise money to help lift each other up. We are the creators of the largest car cruise in the area, Cruisin' 53, which lights up Van Dyke in Warren and Center Line with classic cars and smiling faces. We also organize the Run Warren 5K, offering a USTAF-certified course and promoting health and fitness at Warren City Hall. Through our efforts, we have raised thousands for leading organizations serving the greatest needs of the city.
