In celebration of the legacy of Martin Luther King, Jr., the city of Peoria will be hosting its second annual MLK Day of Service on Saturday, Jan. 14, 2023 at the Peoria Community Center, located at 8335 W. Jefferson St.

“This event is an opportunity for the community to volunteer and support local nonprofits and the good work they are doing,” said Marylou Stephens, Peoria director of arts, culture, and library services. “We are pleased to bring our community together in the wonderful spirit of service that Martin Luther King Jr. embodied.”

From 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., the city has invited a variety of health and wellness organizations and local community assistance groups to highlight their services to residents.

In addition, the event will feature multicultural activities, volunteer opportunities, complimentary meal and beverages, free books for children, and a variety of service providers and community resources.

Featured entertainment will include Valley blues legend Francine Reed, who will kick-off the event singing the U.S. national anthem, Soultify Band, and spoken word artist Sean Avery Medlin.

A variety of fun and interactive activities will be available for all ages to enjoy.
