The Community Consortium for Cultural Recognition is proud to host the annual Martin Luther King Jr. Day Community Celebration on Monday, Jan. 19 at 10 a.m. as we honor the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

This year's MLK Day of Service is themed "Mission Possible: Moving, Building, Uniting." This free, all-ages event provides multiple age-appropriate spaces for our community to reflect on Dr. King's teachings through volunteerism, advocacy, and uplifting marginalized voices. Together we will engage with pressing local issues, explore practical solutions, and work toward systemic change and community wellbeing.

Join Us Monday, Jan. 19!

10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Free! All are welcome

All are encouraged to bring unopened, non-perishable food and hygiene items to the event. All donations will support the food pantries at Western Washington University, Bellingham Technical College, Whatcom Community College, and Northwest Indian College.
