Service, Justice and Hope on MLK’s Day of Service

From the Volunteer Director,

This year’s MLK Day of Service truly embodied Dr. King’s vision of service, justice, and hope.

Here is what we did:

  • Hands-On Service Projects: We packed 20,000 meals, assembled over 2,000 hygiene kits, and collected ten carloads of winter wear for those in need.
  • Community Discussions: Older adults and teens engaged in meaningful conversations about advocacy and the power of collaboration.
  • 54 Miles to Impact – Reflective Art Project: Over 100 stunning reflective art pieces were created, capturing the essence of hope and service. 

What’s Next?

Our work doesn’t stop here! Together, we continue to make a difference.

In February, we are hosting a Fundraiser for our Older Adult Center. In March, we celebrate Purim with our community. On April 6 – Good Deeds Day, we come together again for a large-scale impactful service project.

Thank you for making an impact in our community!

Warm regards,

Alexandra Nyashina
Director of Volunteer Services
