MLK Day of Service
Event Details
Honor the Legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. with a Drive-Thru Food Donation!
On Monday, January 17, Stone Catchers will host the Fourth Annual Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service Community Food and Household Essentials Drive. The MLK Day of Service is an annual event held nationally to encourage communities to take action to build the beloved community of Dr. King’s dream. MLK Day is the only federal holiday also designated as a national day of service to encourage all to volunteer to improve their community.
You can get involved by participating in the drive-thru Community Drive on Monday, January 17, from 9:00 am – 1:00 pm. Drop off your non-perishable food and paper good donations at the front steps of the church. Volunteers will be on Dunton Avenue to receive your donations and unload them from your car. Walk-up donations are also welcomed. In addition to collecting items on Monday, January 17, donations can be dropped off in the lobby on Sunday, January 16, during worship services. All donations will go to local food pantries.
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 and Cheese requires milk and butter – consider Velveeta which comes with the sauce
