A Wayne County nonprofit that supports survivors of domestic violence is receiving a significant boost. First Step has been awarded a $100,000 grant from Lowe's, which will be used to renovate its residential program. The organization provides shelter and services to those in need.

The grant is part of a larger initiative by Lowe's, which is distributing $20 million in funding to organizations nationwide. First Step was one of only two Michigan organizations selected to receive a grant this year. Further details about the renovations and the impact of the grant are available from the source, including specific upgrades to be made to the shelter's family suites.
