Delivering MLK Day Love With Care Packages
“On the Friday before Martin Luther King Day, Viacommunity, BET and many eager volunteers teamed up with the ‘I Have a Dream’ Foundation to assemble 200 care packages for college freshman across the country. The care packages contained branded BET notebooks, Viacommunity-branded sunglasses and tote bags, stationary, snacks, and personal handwritten notes of encouragement. The students, or ‘Dreamers,’ receiving the packages have overcome disadvantaged and underserved beginnings and are on their way to becoming the leaders of tomorrow – truly fulfilling Dr. King’s vision of an equal world.”
