Dearborn, MI – The Dearborn United Dispatch Center is calling on residents to “fall into the spirit of giving” by supporting its latest community initiative — a food drive benefiting Blessings in a Backpack, which helps feed local children in need.
According to the Dearborn Police Department, donations of non-perishable food items can be dropped off at two city locations through November 24:
- Dearborn Police Department Lobby (16099 Michigan Ave) – open 24/7
- Dearborn Administrative Center (16901 Michigan Ave) – open during regular business hours
The drive is part of the department’s broader community outreach effort to ensure that no child in Dearborn goes hungry this holiday season. Organizers encourage residents to donate canned goods, boxed meals, and other shelf-stable food items that can help fill backpacks for students facing food insecurity.
Anyone with questions can contact dispatch at 313-943-2201.
Together, the city hopes to turn compassion into action — one donation at a time.
