Seasons Market & Café, located in the Cass Corridor, is celebrating one year in business. With offerings that change with the seasons, it was founded with the belief that access to high-quality food is critical to the well-being of a neighborhood and that neighborhood markets need to provide a safe and vibrant place for neighbors to meet and grow relationships with each other and the growers and makers of their food.

Comprising the Farmers Stand, the Everyday Market and the Garden Cafe, patrons can fulfill their needs from groceries to fresh-brewed coffee. Owners Tom and Peggy Brennan state, “We just want to say thank you to everyone who has made Seasons Market part of your life since we opened!”

Location: 4125 Second Ave., Detroit. For more information, call 313-462-2022, email Seasons@SeasonsMarketDetroit.com or visit SeasonsMarketDetroit.com.

Talk show host Kelly Clarkson donated $20,000 on January 6 to Betty Henderson’s Northwest Detroit Angels of Essence Day Care after it was damaged by fire last June. It provides 24-hour child care for infants through schoolage children in a play-based environment aiming to foster children’s holistic growth through child-centered activities. Emphasis is placed on the development of social skills, emotional growth and physical coordination.

The executive producers of her show reached out to Henderson twice, but she disregarded their emails. She says, “I thought they were scamming me at first, and ignored them. I ended up speaking to them verbally and they told me that they read the article and wanted to bring me on the show.”
