"The time is always right to do right."
-Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr
We look forward to celebrating the life and work of Dr. King on January 16 by giving time in service together. Each year on MLK Day, Abington Friends School hosts a wide range of projects in partnership with community agencies. This year we look forward to making meals, constructing animal habitats, assembling winter care kits, hosting a clothing sale and more! We hope families, friends and members of the extended community will join us on this wonderful morning. Registration will be posted January 4 and all are welcome to sign up.
In preparation for our service projects, we are collecting the following items:
- Gently used clothing and shoes - all types, all seasons
- Used books, especially children's books and books in Spanish
- Winter Care Kit items: chapstick, white sweat socks, granola bars, individual tissue packs
Please put the word out to friends and family who would love to make space by donating items that are no longer needed! Donations can be dropped off in the Lower and Upper School lobbies.
Questions? Please reach out to Andrea, aemmons@abingtonfriends.net.
