Public Service and Community for EqualityPACE is committed to helping develop community leadership that accurately reflects the City's diverse population; further developing our Covenant for Racial Reconciliation program; providing diversity training to any and all interested residents; encouraging opportunities for community building; and supporting pulpit swaps to strengthen and unite the religious community. PACE is a subcommittee of the Eastpointe Community Chest Networking Forum (ECCNF).

Both are deeply dedicated to racial harmony and have worked tirelessly to promote racial harmony in our community.
