Ramadan Food Drive
Make a difference this Ramadan!!!
Ramadan is a time for generosity and giving. It is a time when we think about those who have less than us. Therefore, Lowrey Middle school is hosting their annual Ramadan Food Drive to assist those families in the Dearborn Community who are fasting and don’t have the means to have extra food. We are kindly asking for your donations. Suggested items:
flour
sugar
rice
cans
cereal box
pasta
any non-perishable items
**** All items should be collected by May 12, 2017!!!!*********
Thank you in advance for your generosity!!
