Last week, I participated in two service projects in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Last Monday, I created cards for Senior Citizens with my daughter. We decorated them with hearts for Valentine’s Day and we made 20 of them.

Last Wednesday, I helped create HomeNow kits for families moving from shelters into permanent housing with the NYJL’s Women of Color Affinity Group and DIAD-OD committee. These kits include home essentials like cookware, bed sheets, and cleaning supplies.  We unboxed boxes, sorted supplies and put the kit together. We were able to put together approx. 40 kits.
