L-R Facuty, Staff & Students Participate in MLK Day of Service

On Saturday January 22, 48 volunteers, including students, faculty and staff gathered to honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy of community service. Teams of volunteers completed service projects at six different organizations in the community, including Cooperative Christian Ministries, the Catawba Science Center and Longview Elementary thrift store. 

The groups came back to campus after their service projects to enjoy hot chocolate and snacks, reflect on their service and remember Dr. King’s challenge to help their community. 

This year marked the 25th Anniversary of MLK Day of Service as a national event, and the 3rd year of LR’s participation.
