Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. reminded us that everyone can serve. This MLK Day, students and volunteers came together to pack hundreds of backpacks for The Backpack Project at Durham Inc.

Small acts, shared with care and compassion, help build a stronger community. Service isn’t a moment. It’s a way of life.

Watch the recap to see how this day came together and its greater impact: https://youtu.be/prKGpnWWfbQ
