Hi everyone,

Christmas is coming up and each year I like to donate to one or two charities. I am donating to a local charity (around my way in Pennsylvania) and I was thinking about donating items to a charity in Detroit. I look to donate items for all ages from children to adults. Does anyone know of any charities that are specific to Detroit?


Thanks!

Jessica

There's a heartwarming story in Today's Freep about people fleeing the Middle East for their lives and settling in Detroit. There's link at the end for the charity. That would be my vote.

Thanks, Belle! I'll do that and maybe I'll send them a greeting in Arabic.

Very nice idea. I believe that Chaldeans speak Aramaic, though.

They speak Arabic, too. I think it depends on the region they're from.

Yeah, I think it does depend on the region. I remember that from classes I took back in college. I get paid next week, so I'll donate next week. Thanks, y'all!
