A Day of Service at BHOB
In honor of Martin Luther King Jr., we’re hosting a volunteer service work party on April 13, 2024 (rescheduled from January).
Join us to enhance the experience of our pantry guests (and volunteers) by making needed improvements to our building, both inside and out.
MLK Day is the only federal holiday designated by Congress as a national day of service—a “day on, not a day off.” Let’s come together to celebrate the civil rights leader’s life and legacy and to create meaningful change in our community.
Groups, individuals, families, and businesses are all welcome.
