The MLK Day of Service is an annual event held nationally to encourage communities to take action and build the beloved community MLK spoke of. All are invited to get involved by dropping off donations at the church on Sunday or by participating in the drive through community drive on Monday, January 19 from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm. Walk up donations are welcome and we’ll have volunteers available to help unload donations. We hope you can participate!

When deciding what to donate, here are some helpful hints:

• Household items such as paper towels, toilet paper, dish detergent are not eligible for purchase with a Link card
Consider pop-top lids – sometimes people do not have a can opener
• Olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper and other spices can transform a meal
• Remember items like Hamburger Helper are only good if you have ground beef
• Baking mixes that require only water are good
• Coffee is a luxury
• Sugar and flour are always needed
• Kraft Mac & Cheese requires milk and butter consider Velveeta, as it comes with the sauce
