Community Tree Pruning Event

300 West Borden Avenue,Syracuse NY 13205

17 January, 2022

Description

In honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. OEC will be hosting a community tree pruning event to celebrate his leadership and legacy. The Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service is a defining moment each year when Americans across the country step up to make our communities more equitable and take action to create the Beloved Community of Dr. King’s dream. While Dr. King believed the Beloved Community was possible, he acknowledged and fought for systemic change. His example is our call to action. Observed each year on the third Monday in January, MLK Day is the only federal holiday designated as a national day of service to encourage all Americans to volunteer to improve their communities. Making time to volunteer for MLK Day of Service is a great way to engage with your community while honoring the legacy of Dr. King. We will provide some hot chocolate at the event. Please remember to dress warmly.
