Turkish and Syrian Earthquake Relief Efforts

Below is information recently sent to Delran School District families regarding Earthquake Relief efforts for Turkey and Syria, including a list of organizations where donations can be made. Donated items can also be dropped off at DIS and they will be collected and shipped overseas. Our thoughts continue to be with those impacted in Turkey and Syria as well as here with our Delran families.
