Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Bed mats made from recycled plastic bags. Handwritten letters and notes of encouragement. All those and more, including women’s sanitary items, were organized by hundreds of volunteers and placed into care packages for people experiencing homelessness today during a Martin Luther King Jr. Day event at The Cleaver Family YMCA. Recognized as a national holiday since 1986, MLK Day is often referred to as a “day on, not a day off,” with people choosing to celebrate King’s legacy with a day of service to the community. At such events, volunteers are encouraged to come and give as much time as they can to help those less fortunate. See the scene from the event and hear from volunteers, including KC’s U.S. Rep. Emanuel Cleaver, at the link in our bio. 🎥: Dominick Williams/The Star (@domvisions)
