Central Detroit Christian (CDC), the same organization heading up Peaches & Greens, is holding a "Back to School Extravaganza". The purpose is to raise school supplies for students in Detroit who are unable to afford the necessary materials for the upcoming year. Our church partners with CDC in many of their efforts, so Doug & I found out about this one Sunday and decided to purchase some materials. In addition, we sent a mass email to his office, and with their help, we were able to put together 7 bags and 3 backpacks. In a city where the high school graduation rate is an abominable 21.7%, it's really the least we can do.
