On Saturday, December 6, Detroit Rescue Mission Ministries (DRMM) will donate food boxes to 50 needy families in Michigan’s eight largest city of Dearborn which has 25.7% of its population below poverty level, according to the US Census Bureau.

Time is 10am to 2pm and venue is Ford Field Park, 22051 Cherry Hill St. Dearborn.

Each food box containing staple items like rice, beef, cooking oil, turkey, salt and sugar is projected to last a family of six for two weeks.

Dr. Chad Audi, DRMM CEO and president, says “Dearborn Track Club helped us to identify the needy families, and we are happy that such families will be getting the food assistance they need this festive season.”

The nonprofit Club will also make a $1000 donation to DRMM to support its work of providing life-changing help and hope to the homeless, hungry and hurting of southeastern Michigan.

“The Dearborn Track Club is very excited to be working with DRMM to help the citizens of Dearborn. We believe by helping our neighbors, the Dearborn Track Club members are learning valuable life lessons that they will remember for many years,” notes Club president Mark Gardner.

Just a 20-minute drive from midtown Detroit, Dearborn is world headquarters of Ford Motor Company, the city’s largest employer, and home to about 40, 000 Arab Americans, making it the largest Arab American city in the United States, according to the 2010 Census.

“Detroit Rescue Mission Ministries goes where we believe we can make a real difference in the lives of families. Those Dearborn women and children need our help, and we’ll provide them such help with the support of our kind donors and volunteers,” concludes Dr. Audi.
