Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service

This MLK Day of Service is shaping up to be a great event! There are some old favorite projects, plus new opportunities. Volunteers should plan to start at FCCR at 9:00am for a brief ceremony (plus coffee and snacks). Then volunteers can disperse to their chosen activities, either at FCCR or offsite. We hope you will review and share this information. Sign up for any activities you are interested in doing. Our off-site projects require registration.

There are two worthy collections: toiletries for youth in DCF care, and food for the Reading Food Pantry. Please review each organization’s list of needs. The Director of the Food Pantry will be volunteering with us on that Saturday, and she would be delighted to talk with you about the Pantry and its mission. We will be collecting donations at the MLK event and making sure it gets to the proper location.

Our two offsite projects, both located in Reading, are also wonderful ways to help our neighbors. One is at Sawtelle Family Hospice House, where basic handy-person help is needed, and one is at Solstice House at Riverbend, where they need organizational help with their donation room.
