Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service 2021
When:The Borough of Garwood is excited to announce the annual Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service activities, which will be held virtually on January 18, 2021, due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The activities will celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and focus on his community-building efforts and service to others. The Borough seeks community volunteers to participate in these at-home service activities.
It’s been a challenging year for everyone, but there’s so much we can still give. While we can’t be together, we can still show Garwood’s community spirit!
