St. John of God Community Services Hosts MLK Day of Service

(Westville, NJ) –St. John of God Community Services will host its second annual Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service on Monday, January 15 from 10am to 12pm. This year, the organization has chosen to host a community service project that will directly benefit Cathedral Hall, part of the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception in Camden.

Cathedral Hall provides free sandwiches each day to nearly 300 people in the Camden area. This year, all volunteers will help to make sandwiches, which will be given out at Cathedral Hall from 10am to 12pm the following day.

Close to 30 volunteers from both Bishop Eustace Preparatory School and the community will be on hand to assemble enough sandwiches to supply Cathedral Hall for the day. Members from Bishop Eustace Preparatory School will also be on hand to deliver the sandwiches to Cathedral Hall.

Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service will take place on St. John of God Community Services’ campus, located at 1145 Delsea Drive in Westville, NJ.
