USCRI Backpack Drive From August 16 - August 30

USCRI DETROIT KICKS OFF THE WORLD REFUGEE DAY PROJECT 

“Back to School with Backpacks’ is the first event.

Starting off the school year with the right tools is critical to a child's success.

This year, the U.S. Committee for Refugees and Immigrants’ Detroit will be holding a backpack drive to help refugee children in our community. We want our kids to be ready to fully participate this school year.

You can ensure each and every refugee child in our community goes to school on September 3 by donating much needed supplies.
