Detroit block party connects families with life-changing resources ahead of school season
Just in time for the back-to-school season, a Detroit block party is doing more than bringing music, games, and food to the community; it's changing lives. Led by the Teen Infant Parenting Services program through MCHS Family Services, the event blends fun with vital support for young, underserved families. At the heart of the celebration is a powerful mission: to connect parents of children under five with the tools and resources they need to thrive. Dozens of local service agencies lined the street for the TIPS Resource Fair and Block Party, offering everything from parenting support and life skills training to transitional housing and healthcare. For people like Tjzhane Taylor and her 4-year-old son, the support has been transformational. "Before I got here, I was sleeping in a car with my child, so we didn't have a roof over her head, so MCHS took that off of my plate. Childcare. I wasn't able to get childcare before, of course, because of a lack of a job," Taylor said. Organizers say sometimes simply asking for help can be the hardest part. "It takes a lot of courage to ask for help," said Daniel Robinson, MCHS Director of Transitional Programs. "And that's why we're here — to be that support system. When someone takes that first step, we're ready to walk with them every step after." Families received essentials like book bags, diapers, wipes, and health services, but just as important, they were reminded that they're not alone. "We have so many different resources that are available for people who may not even know this stuff exists for them," Robinson said. The event marks a continued effort by MCHS and the TIPS program to uplift families through education, empowerment, and a strong sense of community. Taylor says she has now been inspired to keep giving back, even with limited resources. "Five years from now, I can actually see myself trying to start the nonprofit that I've been working on, that I've been trying to get support with, just because I don't have a lot," she said. "There's still a lot that I can't give, and I've been wanting to start up that resource center, and being here at MCHS has helped me get support and network with other people. "

Reporter says former aide to New York City Mayor Eric Adams gave her a chip bag filled with cash
A longtime adviser to New York City Mayor Eric Adams who resigned from his administration while under FBI scrutiny gave a reporter a potato chip bag filled with cash Wednesday following a campaign event, a gift her lawyer later insisted wasn't an attempted bribe. The local news site The City reported the episode hours after one of its reporters said Winnie Greco had pressed a bag of potato chips into her hands containing a red envelope with a $100 bill and several $20 bills. The reporter, Katie Honan, had scrutinized Greco's conduct in the past as a major fundraiser for Adams in the Chinese American community. Greco's attorney, Steven Brill, told The Associated Press that the situation was being 'blown out of proportion.' 'This was not a bag of cash,' Brill wrote in an email. 'In the Chinese culture, money is often given to others in a gesture of friendship and gratitude. And that's all that was done here. Winnie's intention was born purely out of kindness.' Asked why Greco wanted to make such a gesture to Honan, Brill said, 'She knows the reporter and is fond of her.' The City said it interviewed Greco later Wednesday and she apologized, saying she made 'a mistake.' 'I'm so sorry. It's a culture thing. I don't know. I don't understand. I'm so sorry. I feel so bad right now,' Greco said, according to The City. In response to the report of the bag filled with cash, Adams' reelection campaign said it had suspended Greco from further work as an unpaid volunteer and that Adams had no prior knowledge of Greco's actions. The City reported Greco had texted Honan to meet her inside a Whole Foods store after they both attended the opening of Adams' campaign headquarters in Harlem. When given the chip bag, Honan at first thought Greco was just giving her a snack and said she could not accept it but Greco insisted, according to the report. Honan left and later discovered the money, then called Greco and told her she could not accept it and asked to give it back. Greco said they could meet later but then stopped responding, the report said. Greco later called The City back and asked them not to do a story, saying 'I try to be a good person,' the news outlet reported. A City Hall spokesperson declined to comment Wednesday night. An Adams campaign aide, Todd Shapiro, said Greco holds no position in the campaign. 'We are shocked by these reports,' Shapiro said. 'Mayor Adams had no prior knowledge of this matter. He has always demanded the highest ethical and legal standards, and his sole focus remains on serving the people of New York City with integrity.' A text message sent to a phone number listed in public records for Greco was not immediately returned Wednesday night. Since she resigned as Adams' director of Asian affairs last fall, Greco has occasionally been seen at Adams campaign events. Before her resignation, Greco had served as Adams' longtime liaison with the city's Chinese American community. She was also a prolific fundraiser for Adams' campaigns. In February of 2024, federal agents searched two properties belonging to Greco. Authorities didn't explain what the investigation was about, and Greco has not been charged with committing a crime, but she was a number of close aides to Adams who resigned or were fired amid the federal scrutiny. The City has reported extensively on the investigation and Greco's conduct, including a campaign volunteer's allegations that Greco had promised to get him a city job if he helped renovate her home. A separate federal investigation into Adams led to a 2024 indictment accusing the mayor of accepting illegal campaign contributions and travel discounts from a Turkish official and others — and returning the favors by, among other things, helping Turkey open a diplomatic building without passing fire inspections. A federal judge dismissed the case in April after the Justice Department ordered prosecutors to drop the charges, arguing that the case was interfering with the mayor's ability to aid President Donald Trump's crackdown on illegal immigration.
