Sponsored by the Hopkinton Youth Commission, the MLK Day of Giving Back offers an opportunity for middle and high school students, their families and adults in the community to join together and participate in a variety of service projects.
Service projects include making blankets, knit hats and friendship bracelets for the homeless, writing letters to soldiers, assembling care packages for cancer patients and assembling and decorating Bags of Hope for residents of Serenity House and many more.
