UPDATE: MLK Service Forum moved to January 22

In a ripple effect of the snow storm, we have moved the MLK Service Forum to January 22. The event will start at 10 a.m. and last until 1 p.m. Here is a breakdown of how you can get involved:
  • Donation drop off: Folks don’t even have to get out of their cars! From 10 a.m. until 1 p.m., Hands On Charlotte will be accepting donations in the loop around Grady Cole Center. Requested items include: clothing for all ages; hygiene items for all ages; school supplies; office supplies; packaged snack items for school-aged children; first-aid supplies; board games; cleaning supplies; electronic items (including computers, monitors, speakers, microphones and other education-related electronics.)

  • Volunteer recruitment fair: From 10 a.m. until 1 p.m., Hands On Charlotte will bring together more than 20 nonprofit organizations from around the city to recruit and train volunteers for various projects. Volunteer training sessions start at 10 a.m. and 12 p.m. For a listing of all agencies involved in the event, please visit our website.

  • Free health screenings and children’s volunteer activities: Carolinas HealthCare will be providing free health screenings between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m., and during that time, Hands On Charlotte will be providing supervised children’s activities aimed at teaching kids about community service.
