Community Service Project

Service is a core pillar of the MLK Day Celebration. The Community Service Project focuses on caring for Utah’s unhoused community through the collection of donations and the assembly of winter care packages.

Participants are encouraged to contribute by donating essential items or supporting the effort financially. This project reflects Dr. King’s call to action and reminds us that building the Beloved Community requires compassion, service, and tangible support for those most impacted by inequity.

Ways to Contribute

  • Drop off items during the celebration at the Regent Street Black Box Theater
  • Drop off items ahead of time at one of our community drop-off locations
  • Order items online and have them shipped directly
  • Make a monetary donation to support the purchase and assembly of care packages

Your donation helps meet real needs in our community.

The donation levels below show how contributions at different amounts can support winter care efforts for Utah’s unhoused community.
