Our signature event is our annual Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service. This is a unique opportunity to work side by side with those of other faiths and cultures to benefit our local community. We are planning many family-friendly projects, which are both meaningful and rewarding.
These projects include preparing soup mixes and a BBQ for shelter residents, working on school campus improvements and gardening, assembling care kits, knitting baby hats, decorating pillow cases, tying fleece blankets, making t-shirt grocery bags, sewing stuffed animals for police and firefighters to distribute, making paracord bracelets for military personnel, creating animal beds and toys, putting together science kits, cleaning up local parks, and singing for residents in senior centers.
