The Martin Luther King Jr. National Day of Service is an opportunity for each of us to reflect on the principles of equality and selflessness that Dr. King embodied. Dr. King believed in celebrating and promoting the worth of every person, great and small. He championed for diverse cultures to live and thrive together in a spirit of love, understanding, and service to one another.
On that note, this is our 3rd Annual Joint National VSO Service Event and Our First with the VFW. Join the NYC Platoons this MLK Weekend at the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 8160 in Windsor Terrace, Brooklyn to help us complete the following tasks:
1. Clearing out the Basement and Second Floor of Disposable Items to create space for Future Events.
2. Reorganize the Kitchen Area & Bsmt along with the 2nd Floor Area.
3. Modernize the Space by replacing the Old Incandescent Lightbulb's for newer LED Lightbulb's on 2nd Floor Ceiling.
