MLK Jr Annual Community Breakfast

A Day of Service Opportunity

As part of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Day Breakfast, United Way of Central Massachusetts, the Worcester Area Mission Society (WAMS), and United Congregational Church are collecting new books for second and third grade students in Worcester Public Schools.  With sponsorship from Unum Group, the books will be added to literacy kits and distributed through school principals. Age-appropriate books are needed on Dr. King, other civil rights leaders, or justice and equity topics. A list of suggested books can be found on the WAMS website. Books can be dropped off at the Worcester Area Mission Society, 6 Institute Rd., Worcester, Tuesday-Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., until January 21, or tax deductible cash donations can be made to WAMS. WAMS staff will use all money donated to this drive to buy the needed books. For more information, please contact Karen Ludington at 508.755.2329, ext. 4.
