Make a Difference This MLK Day of Service

On January 18, 2025, join us in honoring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy through acts of compassion and service. Lutheran Congregational Services, Southeastern Pennsylvania Synod of the ELCA, and United Lutheran Seminary are coming together to host a meaningful day of service—and we need your help!

This year, volunteers will assemble Women’s Hygiene Kits and Flood Cleanup Buckets to support disaster survivors in Pennsylvania. These essential kits help our neighbors maintain dignity and rebuild their lives during challenging times. Our goal is to create over 100 kits and buckets—and we can’t do it without your support.
