Virtual Service Projects

While we may be in a virtual environment, remember that MLK Jr. Day is a day on, not off. In honor of Dr. King’s commitment to service, we have several opportunities to complete virtual service projects.

Members that are in the Washington, D.C. metro area can drop their projects off on Monday, Jan. 17, 2022, 2 p.m. – 4 p.m. EST at the Worship Center. We will be hosting a drive-through drop-off celebration! We ask that masks be worn at all times.

All projects are to be completed at home and dropped off at the Worship Center. No projects will be completed on-site. 

Members through our Online Campus (OC) can also participate from wherever they are in the world! Please see the OC instructions for each project.
