Every year, hundreds of students and volunteers participate in Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ State\u2019s annual MLK National Day of Service and this year was no different. On January 20th 2020 students, staff, community volunteers, and community partners joined together in a day of service in commemoration of the sacrifice and service of Martin Luther King Jr.<\/p>\n
Bonners Leaders served as site leaders and led students and community members to service sites off campus including: Boys and Girls Club of Clifton, Human Needs Food Pantry, Job Haines, MedShare, KinderSmile and Wynona\u2019s House to name a few. Education, Environment, and Community Outreach (EECO) AmeriCorps members also provided service at Canterbury Village assisted living facility. Over 17 community-based organizations accepted 213 students and volunteers to participate in service projects around the region.<\/p>\n
On campus, service projects included the Cub Scouts of Pack 30 and middle school scholars from Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ, NJ who made peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for Toni\u2019s Food Kitchen in Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ and assembled therapeutic hospital kits that were donated to the Children\u2019s Specialized Hospital. The day of service provided an additional opportunity to promote Human Trafficking week, a project to raise awareness where students and committee members from MIGHT(Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ Interest Group against Human Trafficking) displayed cut out figures of Human Trafficked victims to educate the campus community of their stories.<\/p>\n
