Martin Luther King, Jr, the slain civil rights leader,
once said: “Life’s most persistent
question is, ‘What are you doing for others?’”
Laraway Youth & Family Services’ staff
embraced this question, marking the federal holiday with a day of service at
the Johnson-based nonprofit. Blankets
were crafted for children in shelters. Cards were written and games were
created for seniors in assisted living. Bowls
were designed for a hunger awareness project.
Toys were made for dogs living in shelters, waiting to be adopted. These and other offerings of goodwill honor
the legacy of Dr. King.
“Our day of service helps us to look
beyond our agency, supporting the work of other folks doing fine work in the
community,” said Katherine Stamper, Laraway’s Development Director.
Laraway Youth & Family Services is a non-profit organization
dedicated to identifying and building on the strengths of children and youth
with emotional, behavioral and mental health challenges, through alternative
education, therapeutic foster care and public school based behavioral
intervention supports. For more
