USCRI Backpack Drive from August 16-August 30

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 office will be holding a backpack drive to help refugee children in our community participate fully in the school year.

Please help us ensure each and every refugee child living in our community shows up to school on September 3rd with the supplies they need to succeed.
