MONROE, La. — The University of Louisiana Monroe and Louisiana Delta Community College
(LDCC) will once again partner for the annual Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service
project, on Monday, Jan. 16.
Students, faculty, and staff participating in the service project are now collecting
items for women and children for the Children’s Coalition for the Northeast Louisiana
Family Resource Center. Examples of items include: children’s books, small stuffed
animals, large puzzles, coloring books and crayons, socks, toiletries, and large zip-lock
bags for packaging the items.
The Children’s Coalition for Northeast Louisiana is a nonprofit agency dedicated to
creating communities where children and families thrive. They address the needs of
children and youth ages 0-18.
Students, faculty, staff, and the community are invited to donate items for the service
project.

or to Student Services, Suite 144, located on the LDCC campus.
It is requested that items be delivered by Friday, Jan. 13 at 3:30 p.m. However, participants
with donations may also bring them to Strauss Hall the day of the event.
