Martin Luther King, Jr. Service Day: Restoring Hope & Dignity

Join MCC, in collaboration with Kingdom Builders Network (KBN), on Martin Luther King Jr. Day for a day of celebration and service as we remember those in prison who are often forgotten. 

This year’s MLK Day of Service feels especially timely. With divisions across our country, the call to strengthen Dr. King's vision of a Beloved Community is more urgent than ever. Our event will feature a panel of community leaders who will discuss practical steps toward building this community and our role in it.

This in-person event will be livestreamed. Please register and we'll send you the livestream link prior to the event.

At the event you will... 

• Celebrate Martin Luther King Jr.'s legacy of peace and justice through music and spoken word. 
• Learn practical steps towards building beloved community through a panel discussion and Q&A. 
• Serve by assembling care kits for those incarcerated to meet their needs and restore hope and dignity in a place that often seems hopeless.
