Broadview, Ill. – Top officials from Lindop School District 92

Black Men United organization and their local supporters to help
the lighten the financial burden of some of the students of andf amilies of Broadview,” said Superintendent Dr. Janiece Jackson.

“We would especially like to thank Black Men United’s local leader, Pastor John Harrell, who organized the giveaway and helped secure the donations.”

A ”blessing” for families, says top elected official. “Many of the hard working parents of our students are struggling under the financial strain of high gas prices, increased food coasts, and escalating housing expenses,” said Lindop Board of Education President Shyrl Griffin. “So the generous donations arranged for our families by Black Men United is a true blessing.”
