Martin Luther King Jr. Day – Community High School Day of Service

Community High School students observed Martin Luther King Jr. Day by volunteering at several different neighborhood organizations in southeast Roanoke, including the Roanoke Community Garden Association, the Christian Soldiers Food Pantry, the Metropolitan Community Church, and the Salvation Army. Throughout the day, students painted, gardened, moved books and furniture, cleaned, picked up litter, and helped out with other projects in our neighborhood. The day was organized with the assistance of REACH, an organization that encourages the people of southeast Roanoke to connect and engage with each other through service.
