Join Us This January for #LegacyofService: Honoring MLK Day with Action!
This January, The Mission Continues is calling you to serve in celebration of The Martin Luther King Jr. National Day of Service through #LegacyofService!
MLK Day is more than a day off—it's a day to honor those who have fought and continue to fight for equality and justice, both in and out of uniform. We recognize the impact of activism and the power of citizens working together for a brighter future. While we've made great strides, there's still work to be done, and veterans are uniquely suited to lead this positive change.
Join Us to package meal boxes for people in need in the Greater Boston Area on Saturday January 4, 2025, at the Greater Boston Food Bank. We’ll be working in the warehouse, inspecting, sorting, and repacking donated food and grocery products. Some volunteers will load boxes onto conveyor belts, some inspect or sort products, and others check and label boxes. While a few of these tasks require the ability to lift a 30-pound box, most tasks require a volunteer to stand and inspect products or package boxes.
This is a fantastic opportunity to give back to our everyday heroes and honor Dr. King's dream of equality. All ages and skill levels are welcome—let's make a difference together!
See you there!
