Together we can.

From a young age, Brenda Hughes encountered significant challenges that shaped her understanding of hardship. Witnessing her mother’s struggle as a single parent raising five children and enduring the painful loss of her own mother instilled in her a profound sense of purpose. At just nine years old, Brenda made a heartfelt vow to her mother: she would make a difference in the world.

In 1990, Brenda took her first steps toward that promise by volunteering at the Interfaith Shelter. The very next year, she founded "Jackson Giving Back to the Community" in Jackson, Michigan, a transformative initiative that provides a variety of essential services to ensure no individual or family suffers from hunger or lacks life’s necessities. This organization stands as a beacon of hope, bringing together six impactful programs to support the community.

Moreover, Mrs. Hughes organizes five free community events annually, fostering unity, ensuring that no child is left behind, and uplifting the mental health of all participants. Her heartfelt commitment to serving the community is rooted in her own experiences with poverty and hunger, making her mission deeply personal.

With Jackson Giving Back, Brenda Hughes is not just addressing immediate needs; she is creating a safe and supportive environment where everyone can thrive. Through her tireless efforts, she is changing lives and building a brighter future for all in her community. Join her in making a difference—together, we can ensure that everyone receives the essentials they deserve.
