On Monday, Jan. 20, we will gather in the Fowler Center for a day full of service, learning, community building, and fun. Due to the incredibly positive participation over the past two years, we are now offering two different volunteer shifts to accommodate more volunteers! You can register for the 9 a.m. - noon shift, the 1 - 4 p.m. shift, or both! Everyone (both shifts of volunteers) will gather together at noon for an informal lunch and brief remarks to remember and honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. We will again work in partnership with Sleep in Heavenly Peace to build beds for children in our community who otherwise would not have a bed to sleep in.
