MLK Day of Service (Ages 12–17)
Mon, Jan 19, 2026 | 10:00 am - 12:00 pm
MLK Day is a great day to do something concrete together.
Teens are invited to help assemble care bags for neighbors in our community facing food insecurity. We are partnering with Food Justice DMV, who serves a largely immigrant population in Maryland, DC, and Virginia. The morning is active, collaborative, and hands-on—working side by side to create something that will be shared directly with people who need it.
Participants are encouraged to bring donations such as maseca (corn flour), cooking oil, 2 lb bags of rice, 2 lb bags of beans, and diapers (sizes 5 and 6). Notes of encouragement will be included with each bag. We will also be collecting donations of maseca, oil, rice, beans, and diapers before and after service on January 11 and January 18.
