Join us in honoring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy of service to others. On Monday, Jan. 20, from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., we will be working together to clean and organize our resources and operations closet, making it a more efficient space for our team and the community members we serve. After sorting through items, we’ll haul those no longer needed to a local thrift store, ensuring they get a second life rather than being thrown away. Come lend a hand, connect with fellow community members, and help us continue the spirit of service this MLK Day. Let's make this MLK Day truly special!
