Monday Jan. 16 -- Feed the Hungry -- local food pantry emphasis -- MLK Birthday 2012

from Niles Daily Star story (Jan. 3, 2012) which focuses on the Breakfast Events (LMC & Niles Church):

Martin Luther King Jr. Day, January 16, 2012: a day to volunteer your time and talent to helping Feed the Hungry.
The Volunteer Center of Southwest Michigan hosts a time to reflect on King’s legacy at  two community breakfasts on MLK Day: Lake Michigan College Mendel Center in Benton Harbor (RSVP to Jannette 927-8100 ext. 5266) or Mount Calvary Baptist Church in Niles, Michigan from 7 to 10 a.m. (RSVPs not required).
After the breakfasts, head to a drop-in volunteer site to give as much time as your schedule allows or pick up a list of food pantries and fill a grocery bag with items to feed the hungry.
Volunteer ahead of time by decorating paper bags and dropping them off at the Volunteer Center the week before. Paper bags will be distributed to those collecting food.
