AmeriCorps, and Youth Volunteer Corps Mobilize Teens to Honor King on Day of Service
Americorp members led hundreds of young people and adults in a food drive to benefit the Food Bank of the Virginia Peninsula's Child Backpack Program.
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service was marked in Hampton with a massive food drive to benefit the Virginia Peninsula Food Bank. The Hampton Teen Center Americorp members and Youth Volunteer Corps mobilized a hundred teens and adults to canvass the Farmington and Michael’s Woods neighborhoods for food items to be used in the Child Backpack Program run by the Virginia Peninsula Food Bank.
AmeriCorp members and local residents joined hundreds of thousands of Americans in making the holiday a day ON, not a day OFF by serving in honor of the slain civil rights leader’s legacy of service.
Food drive volunteers gathered together again on January 25th to enjoy a free dinner reception and service certificate ceremony at the Hampton Teen Center. Over 1000 cans of food were donated to the food bank.
