As part of its MLK Day service to the community, nonprofit Detroit Rescue Mission Ministries (DRMM, https://drmm.org) will at 12 noon on Friday, January 16, 2015, give a big pleasant surprise to a low-income Detroit family aimed at improving its living conditions and hence contributions to society.
Though the family has been invited to the 11am – 1pm MLK event at 138 Stimson Street Detroit, the gift would be a complete surprise.
“This is our way of honoring the remarkable legacy of Dr. King. We are putting his clarion call for a “beloved community” into life-changing action,” explains DRMM president and CEO, Dr. Chad Audi, who would be joined by some notable civic, community and business leaders in presenting the surprise to the Detroit family.
The largesse comes shortly after a keynote by Bishop PA Brooks, first assistant presiding bishop of the 6.5 million member Church of God in Christ Worldwide, and pastor of New St. Paul Tabernacle Detroit.
Food would be prepared and served by students of DRMM Culinary Arts Program who are paid stipends as they undergo 12-week training to earn state certification and gain much-needed employment in the community.
