After Receiving An $85K Grant, Raphael Wright Opens Community-Owned Grocery Store On The East Side Of Detroit, MI

“This is a crowd-funded venture,” Wright told CBS Detroit. “Neighbors, residents, Michiganders, people outside of the state have either donated or invested money into this project… I was able to raise most of the funds pretty much on the street. The $85,000 that I received pretty much closed the financial requirements that I had.”
