Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service
Community Food Drive 2026
On Monday, January 19, help us honor Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s legacy of service by taking part in our Stuff the Truck food drive. By donating nutritious, nonperishable food items, you can help ensure South Jersey families, children, and seniors have access to the nourishment they need. Every donation collected supports the Food Bank of South Jersey’s network of more than 300 partner agencies.
Please note: All volunteer opportunities for the 2026 MLK Day of Service are currently filled, but there are still meaningful ways to participate by donating food or making a financial contribution.
