The churches along Charles Street have teamed up to offer several opportunities to serve on the MLK Day of Service, held this year on Monday, January 19^th.

Activities are held throughout the day and include a youth “service” lock-in, a neighborhood trash pick-up, assembling bags of love for our unhoused neighbors, making Valentine’s Day cards for shut-ins, hosting activities at Stadium Place and Marian House, supporting Art with a Heart in Hampden, and a donation drive for winter clothing, school supplies, coffee mugs, and technology donations.
