Building A Beloved Community

Connection + Service + Justice. Each year Natick’s MLK Day Celebration has highlighted a service project and an opportunity for connecting with neighbors and community resources. Through the event, community partners also promote additional opportunities for individuals to engage in deeper learning and connection and actions(!) every day to promote justice and inclusion, stand up against racism and injustice in all its forms, amplify kindness, and build the beloved community, a community where everyone belongs.
