This Martin Luther King, Jr. Day — Monday, January 19 — honor the spirit of Dr. King by supporting a local community organization, Avalon Village.
UDM students will meet in the Mercy Gathering Place on the first floor of Shiple Hall at 9:30 a.m. Jan. 19 to prepare kits to help low-income seniors in Highland Park stay warm this winter. This is a great opportunity to meet new friends while learning about intersectional factors that influence access to vital resources. Participants can also earn five service hours. This opportunity is open to all students.
Come early at 9 a.m. for free breakfast. Lunch and transportation to the volunteer site is provided.
