Islamic Relations USA organizers set up nationwide fundraising campaign

DETROIT – The Islamic Center of Detroit is encouraging others to support rescue and recovery efforts following the earthquake in Morocco.

Organizers with Islamic Relations USA have set up a nationwide fundraising campaign. IR USA leaders say it’s best to donate money not items.

“Morocco is one of the Muslim countries and its part of our religion to be supportive when our brothers and sisters are having a bad situation,” an IR USA worker in Detroit said. “Invite everyone to have their social responsibility and raise funds for Muslims and others in Morocco.”
