Mark your calendars for the annual Dr. Martin Luther King Day of Service<\/a> on Jan. 17.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each year, SPC honors Dr. King\u2019s legacy on this national day of service by participating in volunteer opportunities throughout the county.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This January, SPC has partnered with Hope Villages to fight food insecurity and will be passing out 400 boxes of food for families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SPC will be serving our community in two locations, Clearwater Campus, and Midtown Campus on Jan. 17 from 9 to 11 a.m. Details on the flyer are below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Faculty and staff are invited to volunteer on Jan. 16 and 17 to help unpack and distribute food. If interested, please register to volunteer<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please help spread the word by sharing the flyer below with your students and community partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SPC may also participate in the MLK Day Parade in downtown St. Petersburg on Monday, Jan. 20. Keep an eye out in Titan Hub for more information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
