Looking for a way to honor MLK Day? Here is a roundup of some local ways to get involved:

1. Make no-bake cookies, pack a breakfast bag, or read a book for English Language Learners through virtual or socially distanced volunteer opportunities organized by Beth Am Israel in Penn Valley

2. Donate to the Main Line NAACP which represents Haverford Township or the BIPOC Parents of Haverford Township which continues Dr. King's legacy by focusing on improving diversity, equity, and inclusion in our education system, and surrounding community.

3. Attend the Main Line Martin Luther King Association Virtual Celebration on Sunday January 16th at 3:00 PM (see attached flyer)

5. Help out with the MLK Day Food & Supply Drive The contactless drive will take place on Monday, January 17 from 9-11:30am in the Haverford Middle School bus lane (1701 Darby Road Havertown, Pa). You can support the thousands of Delaware County residents struggling to put food on the table at our MLK Day contactless food and supply drive. Haverford Township, with the help of the Haverford Education Foundation, will collect the non-perishable food, paper products, and other items and donate them to the Community Action Agency of Delaware County, Ardmore Food Pantry, Denis' Closet and Food Pantry, and other local organizations .Please place your donations in a paper/re-usable bag or box and put them in the back seat/trunk of your vehicle. When you arrive, please stay in your vehicle with a mask on. Our volunteers will remove the donations from your vehicle.
