Judson Center, a metro Detroit nonprofit human services agency, celebrates its 100th anniversary this year. As part of the commemoration, the agency launched its “Where Care Is An Art” awareness campaign, an initiative that paired local artists with Judson Center clients and culminated in 10 unique artworks that tell stories of resilience and recovery. 

The project, designed in collaboration with Doner Detroit, highlights the journeys of clients who have benefitted from the center’s various programs, including autism services, foster care, adoption, and disability employment. Judson Center has also introduced a Centennial Challenge, where people are encouraged to support the agency’s 100 years of service.

Host Stephen Henderson sits down with Judson Center President & CEO Lenora Hardy-Foster, who discusses the agency’s origins in 1924 and its evolution in response to community needs. Hardy-Foster also talks about the center’s commitment to providing essential services, its vision for the future, and its Centennial Gala set for Nov. 1.
