With school is fast approaching, more than 500 metro Detroit school kids will receive new backpacks filled with school supplies from Detroit Rescue Mission Ministries (DRMM).
“An important annual tradition that puts smiles on the faces of school boys and girls and their parents, and lets them know people here in metro Detroit really care,” said Chad Audi, DRMM president and CEO. “Helping neighbors in need is always a noble thing to do especially when done in a way that promotes their dignity.”The nonprofit has been empowering the poor and the homeless in the area since 1909.
