MLK Day of Service

  • Trinity Presbyterian Church 640 Berwyn Avenue Berwyn, PA, 19312 United States (map)

Come and join your community in making a positive impact on MLK Weekend. Trinity is hosting three Community Service Projects with volunteer opportunities in honor of Martin Luther King, Jr.’s life and achievements;

COMMUNITY SERVICE OPPORTUNITIES:

Food Drive (10AM - 3PM): Trinity’s Caring Cupboard provides a week’s worth of groceries once a month to approximately 35 families who live in the T/E community. We are collecting all non-expired canned goods, as well as the following items: mayonnaise, maple syrup, jelly, crackers, coffee, tea, cooking oil, toothpaste, bath soap, toilet paper, and laundry detergent. We hope you will consider donating to help those who experience food insecurity in our own backyard.

Repair Cafe (10 AM - 12 PM): Join us for our first Repair Cafe of 2025! Bring your broken and damaged household items — clothes, bags, bikes, lamps, computers — and we will help you fix them! Our repair techs are all amateur professionals local to your own community — we are high school students and homemakers, church members and civically - minded residents who care a lot about reducing landfills.

VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES:
