PeaceQuest is on - all of this month

PeaceQuest is a community-wide celebration in the Greater Lansing area held every September to celebrate the United Nations International Day of Peace, which was declared by the UN General Assembly with a resolution passed unanimously in 1981. PeaceQuest brings us ALL together for fun and interesting activities with friends, family, and community while focusing on ways we can promote peace, resolve conflicts, learn about other faiths and cultures, and encourage mutual understanding. PeaceQuest is coordinated by Greater Lansing United Nations Association in partnership with many community organizations and sponsors.

REQUEST: Do Not Drop off Clothes and Furniture as Donations at the Islamic Center

We understand and appreciate everyone's desire to donate used clothes and furniture, however, we lack the capacity to store and manage them as we lack storage space.

You may bring them to the Islamic Center only when we organize drives for specific needs and specified days. Kindly take them to the nearest Goodwill or Salvation Army stores.
