We are grateful for all of those that participated in the MLK Day of Service that was held at CUMC on Monday, January 17^th. The day started with a community food drive organized by the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Advisory Committee of Chatham Borough that benefited the CUMC Community Food Pantry. Thank you to those that donated and those that volunteered to help stock our shelves! Following the food drive, there was a prayer service sponsored by the Chatham Interfaith Council and the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee of Chatham Borough.

It was a beautiful day that honored the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
