Join the Ladies of Lambda Upsilon Omega at the Kannapolis Laureate Center for our MLK Day of Service!

We will kick off the day by walking in the parade, which begins at 11:00 AM. Afterward, stop by our informational table from 12:00 PM – 3:00 PM to learn about the history and legacy of Lambda Upsilon Omega.

As we come together on this MLK Day of Service, let us reflect on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s message of justice, equality, and service to others. His words remind us that, “Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, ‘What are you doing for others?’” Through acts of kindness, compassion, and unity, we will continue to build a brighter and more just future for all.

With this in mind we will be collecting canned goods to donate to the Salvation Army of Cabarrus County—helping provide nourishment and support to those in need in our community.

Let’s honor Dr. King’s legacy by giving back, making a difference, and building a better tomorrow, together.
