On January 21, we honored Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s legacy by giving back to the community. Nearly 500 people across the region joined forces to clean up communities, gather food and help their neighbors.
"What an amazing experience to make a positive difference in our community," said Erika Arnold, YMCA of the Triangle VP of Volunteering. "Strangers became friends. We all left knowing that we were answering Dr. King's challenge to make our communities a better place."
Partner organizations included:
- CORA Food Bank
- Haven House
- Food Bank of Central & Eastern North Carolina
- Durham Community Food Pantry
- Keep Durham Beautiful
- Raleigh Rescue Mission
- DORCAS Ministries
