Interfaith Community Service Project
“Life’s most persistent and urgent question is: ‘What are you doing for others?'” Martin Luther King
Since the 1994 passing of the King Holiday and Service Act, each year Americans across the country have come together to honor Martin Luther King by serving their neighbors and communities. On January 19, 2015, the third annual Cranford Interfaith Community Service Project will take place from 4:00 pm – 6:00 pm at the First Presbyterian Church- Bates Hall. This Service Project is an exciting and fun opportunity for participants of all ages to help needy people in our community.
