MLK Day of Service
January 20, 2025 - 10:00 AM - 1:00 PM
People all across the country will observe Martin Luther King Jr. Day this January 20th in various ways. One important way to commemorate King's life and work is by participating in a day of service and reflecting on the messages he spread throughout his life. Our 6th Annual MLK Day of Service is an opportunity for our community to honor Dr. King’s legacy through service and volunteerism.
For this year’s service project, we will be working with local charity Person to Person. Established in 1968 in direct response to the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Person to Person is dedicated to promoting equitable access to economic improvement.
How can you participate in serving on MLK Day?
- Register now to fill bags of needed food items that you and/or your family will assemble at Lachat to benefit individuals in need.
- Sign up for as many bags as you would like to put together on the day of the event.
- Your registration pays for all the items in the bag (a full week of food for an individual).
- If you cannot attend, we welcome donations for bags so others can assemble for you.
While visiting the farm to participate in our service project, we invite you and your family to further honor Dr. King by enjoying the "I Have a Dream" speech and completing a craft project meant to help them reflect on the day and the message. We invite people of all ages to use this as a Day On, Not Off and to take an hour to serve your community.
Hot cocoa will be available for purchase.
Cost: $20 per Bag
