Edo Heritage Community Center | 20825 Evergreen Rd. Southfield, MI. 48075
Vision
The Edo Heritage Foundation of Michigan was organized in September 1991. It was created as an all-inclusive gathering of people from Edo Land living in Michigan and its surrounding communities (Ohio and Windsor, Canada). The vision of the Club was to support the economic and social development of the Edo People and individuals who identify with Edo People. On March 22, 1993, it was registered as the Edo Heritage Foundation of Michigan in Detroit, Michigan, and subsequently as a non-profit organization 501(c) (3) on December 1, 1994.
