The Yunion is 𝘚𝘖 excited that the Detroit Regional Chamber and General Motors announced their fourth cohort of awardees for the NeighborHUB grant program! From the program’s largest-ever applicant pool, we are honored to be an awardee. 🎉

ALLOW YOURSELF TO HAVE WEAK MOMENTS INSTEAD OF A WEAK MINDSET
