MLK Day of Service and Fundraiser (age 6+) Referral
Dr. Martin Luther King Junior dedicated his life to advancing civil rights and fighting racism and oppression. To honor his legacy, we will be fundraising for BIPOC led organizations working for racial justice and leading a habitat enhancement event at Powell Butte.
We know that groups often look for service opportunities on Dr. MLK Jr. day, and our organization has long held an event on this day of service. If you would like to participate, we encourage everyone to volunteer AND DONATE to a BIPOC led group working for racial justice.
