For the past 25 years, Motherly Intercession has dedicated its efforts exclusively to Genesee County children ages 517 with at least one parent currently or formerly incarcerated. Motherly Intercession believes that
 educationespecially in reading and mathis key to breaking the cycle of intergenerational incarceration.

Through RACS+, youth receive tutoring to boost academic success, participate in community service and develop leadership and independent living skills. Events like their car wash not only raise funds needed, but also give local youth the opportunity to actively contribute to the communities they represent.
“This car wash is more than soap and waterit’s a chance for our youth to see firsthand that their efforts can drive change,” said Danielle Williams, RACS+ Program coordinator.
