We believe that we are able to achieve more together. Everything starts with community.

Our Mission

Our Story

At Arukah, we believe that strong families are the foundation of a thriving society. Yet, in today’s world, too many families struggle to access the basic resources they need to live healthy, stable lives. From food insecurity to financial hardship and mental health challenges, these barriers make it difficult for families to thrive.

​

Arukah exists to bridge the gap. Our founder, Lauren Slade, knows firsthand the importance of a supportive community. She was fortunate to have the support of her village, which helped shape her into the woman she is today. Recognizing that not everyone has this support, Lauren created Arukah to extend help to those who need it most by building a community where families can thrive together.

​

The name Arukah is derived from the Hebrew word for healing and restoration—a reflection of our commitment to restore the health, wellness, and financial well-being of families. Through programs like Nourish Detroit, mental wellness workshops, and financial literacy resources, we equip families with the tools they need to build healthier, more stable lives.

​

We also know that we are stronger together. That’s why we partner with community organizations, local businesses, and passionate individuals to ensure families have the resources they need to succeed. Arukah is committed to investing in Detroit’s communities, ensuring that no family is left behind because of their geographic location.

​

At Arukah, we believe that when families are healthy and supported, communities flourish—and we are dedicated to making that a reality.
