AUGUST | Little Dresses for Africa
When? Sat Aug 5 from 9 – 11:30 am
Where? LDFA Main Headquarters (21805 Woodruff Rd. Rockwood)
Little Dresses for Africa (LDFA) was started by a downriver woman and provides humanitarian relief to the most vulnerable of God’s children: little girls. These dresses, made by volunteers from around the world, go out as little ambassadors to plant in the hearts of little girls that they are worthy. As relationships are built, projects are completed through clean water, education and community. “We’re not just sending dresses, we’re sending hope.” These little dresses are given freely to those in need. We plant the seeds. God sends the harvest. Join us as we sort dresses, pack boxes, weigh, and load them. Children five and up can volunteer too. Wear comfortable summer clothes and tennis shoes.
