KIDS CARE Service Learning Nonprofit is proud to announce that we had an incredible MLK Day Service & Fun Experience at Adventure Air in Kennesaw. We had a total of 73 volunteers of all ages serving together to make sandwiches for those facing hunger in Cobb County. What better way to honor the spirit of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. than to unite and serve together for the betterment of our community.

We donated 301 ham & cheese sandwiches to The Sandwich Project ATL & The Salvation Army Marietta Corps. Volunteers also donated 3 bags of fresh fruit. The volunteers were so efficient that they finished the goal of 300 sandwiches in about 40 minutes! Families also helped KIDS CARE celebrate our 4th birthday of being a nonprofit in Cobb County.

There is something special about serving and doing good for someone else that makes a person feel light, fulfilled and happy. Sharing that feeling with others is a great Joy. It's amazing how light work is when many hands help do the lifting. If you are looking to serve with your family, or as an individual, come join us this year.

Thank you to The Sandwich Project ATL for the guidance on the sandwich making process and transporting the sandwiches. Thank you to Adventure Air Sports Kennesaw for sponsoring us a room free of charge to host our MLK Day service experience in. We are grateful for our new connections and for the support.
