ABOUT MCR

We advance the missions of Michigan nonprofit organizations that serve low income individuals and communities.

We do this through pro bono and low cost legal and other professional services, organizational development, and trusted guidance.

PEAKS AND VALLEYS

Since 1991, Friends of Parkside has served The Villages at Parkside, an affordable housing community on Detroit’s eastside.

In 2018, under the leadership of director Zachary Rowe, they sought legal assistance from MCR to address a pressing concern that threatened the organization’s future.

Today, thanks to the help of MCR’s network of pro bono attorneys, Friends of Parkside is stronger than ever.
