MLK Day CelebrationThrough Service Pictures
More than 300 people from throughout the four-county Portland/Vancouver metro area volunteered at 14 community service projects during the Martin Luther King
Jr. Day Celebration Through Service organized by the
United Way of the Columbia- Willamette.
Among those volunteering were Kalli McCulloch, project manager for United Way’s MLK Day Celebration Through Service, and Vancouver resident Shirley Price. They were among 32 volunteers who helped cover 650 library books at Fort Vancouver High School.
Volunteers built supply kits for Oregon and Washington soldiers at the Coalition of Troop Support’s MLK Day Celebration Through Service Project, through United Way of the Columbia-Willamette.

The one-day volunteer event, organized by the United Way of the Columbia-Willamette, drew about 20 volunteers to the center’s location in the Maywood neighborhood in NE Portland.
On MLK Day, volunteers created art projects for members of Girl Scouts Beyond Bars. Girl Scouts Beyond Bars provides girls an opportunity to visit their incarcerated mothers weekly to monthly and take part in mother/daughter Girl Scout troop meetings.
