Lots of people around the state could use some help.
The Pistons and The Palace organization are doing all they can to aid the neediest residents this week.
The Pistons are holding their annual telethon for the Feed The Children relief organization on Wednesday.
All proceeds will support families in critical need of food and basic necessities throughout the state in areas that have been hit hardest, beginning with metro Detroit. The event will begin early in the morning with radio and television broadcasts taking place at The Palace and continue throughout the day. Fans attending the Pistons game against the New York Knicks Wednesday night can donate at the arena.
Donations can be made through their web site, www.pistons.com. Fans can text DEP to 90999 to donate as well, with a minimum $5 donation.
