Celebrating a Legacy

February 1, 2023

A large crowd turned out last month to remember the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. during the MLK Celebration and Day of Service in Acworth. The day’s events included a breakfast at the Roberts School Community and Education Center, a Unity Walk, a program at the Acworth Community Center and a service project that included a donation drive to collect food, clothes and toiletries. After the program, volunteers returned to the Roberts School to sort the donated items so local partner churches could pick up and distribute them to those in need.

Volunteers unpack boxes of donations.
