MLK Day of Service

What is MLK Day of Service?

MLK Day of Service is an opportunity for individuals and families to get engaged in the community and solve social problems. Service breaks down barriers by bringing people from different backgrounds, cultures, and experiences together – volunteering can bring people of all ages together and create stronger communities.

Take part in these various activities below!

​​The Northeast Iowa Food Bank in partnership with University of Northern Iowa’s Office of Community Engagement and Panther Pantry, along with the Volunteer Center of Cedar Valley is excited to offer Pack the Dome Martin Luther King Day of Service event at the UNI-Dome on January 20th, 2025. This event is expected to be the single largest volunteer event held in the Cedar Valley.
 
Participants will help package food packs for the Northeast Iowa Food Bank in support of their “Backpack Program”. The Backpack Program serves 2,450 children at 149 different schools across northeast Iowa each month. Before school lets out for the weekend, children receive assembled bags of kid-friendly meals and snacks that can fit in their school bags.
Last year, the Northeast Iowa Food Bank distributed 150,000 of these BackPacks across their 16-county service area.
