It’s not every day that an army of lawyers, doctors, policymakers, educators, community organizers, and urban planners from Africa report to the Mission as volunteers.

Thanks to the Mandela Washington Fellowship for Young African Leaders, that’s exactly what happened. During their six-week commitment at Wayne State University in Detroit, these passionate young leaders found time to spend a day at DRMM’s Genesis House 2 family shelter.

While cleaning, serving meals, and reading to the children in our care, the Mandela Fellows touched many hearts in need of hope. Thank you to these young men and women—and to all volunteers who give of their time and talent!

YOU TOO CAN SHARE HOPE AS A VOLUNTEER!

DRMM runs on volunteers, and more help is needed to serve meals to hundreds of families and individuals each day throughout the Christmas season!

In addition to your important financial support, consider giving the gift of your time as a volunteer. There are 10 sites throughout Detroit and Highland Park where you can lend your talents to enrich the lives of people who are in need of help and hope. Individuals, students, businesses, churches, and more are all encouraged to join us!
