Join Kids Impact Community for an all-ages, family-friendly morning of learning and service in celebration of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, including a special guest speaker, storytime, music and movement, and various on-site service projects. Together we will bring Martin Luther King, Jr.’s National Day of Service to life in a way that even the youngest children can understand.

Activities

On this National Day of Service, we will engage our children as dynamic and change-making citizens. After gathering together to learn about Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., we will read a story and have an all-ages discussion about housing insecurity with our guest speaker from Mr. Bob’s Under the Bridge. Then, we will get to work on a variety of service projects.

All Ages

• – Decorate care cards and assemble winter hygiene kits for Mr. Bob’s Under the Bridge.
• – Embellish paper bags with positive messages and assemble snack packs for Our Next Generation.
• – Make MLK bookmarks for emerging readers served by Bernie’s Book Bank.
• – Create journals for cancer care kits delivered by Aurora Health Care Cancer Clinics.
• – Design reusable grocery bags for Kinship Community Food Center.
• – Read picture books in the book corner about Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and other big ideas.
• – Participate in additional service project stations that capture your interest

Kids ages 9+: This year, we need junior leaders to help with set-up the day before and assist attendees at various project stations the day of the event. If your child is ready for a little extra responsibility, click here for more information and to register.

Kids ages 12+: As a special extension to our program, we invite kids ages 12+ and their caregivers to distribute the assembled winter hygiene kits and on-the-go breakfast bags with Mr. Bob’s Under the Bridge on January 25. Click here for more information and to register.
