“Everybody can be great, because everybody can serve.”- Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
The JustServe Committee of the Skye Canyon Stake wanted to promote service for MLK day this year so they organized an event which was held on January 16, 2023. During this event they asked for members and non-members alike to drop off new/gently used clothing; household items; kitchen utensils and books to help those in need. They arranged for the donations to go to local charities: Deseret Industries (“DI”); Poppy Foundation; Salvation Army; Centennial Library and the Amargosa Senior Center.

Sister Becky Skouson, JustServe Specialist said: “I’m guessing we had 200 to 250 youth and adults volunteering and/or donating. The fun part was that basically every youth or child that showed up wanted to pitch in and help, even if they were primary age and not an assigned volunteer. Everyone really go into the spirit of helping and serving. We had many donations for each organization and filled up the DI trailer twice!”

来自 Indian Springs 的传教士得以进城，他们将捐款送到那里的 Amargosa 高级中心。所有其他捐款也在同一天发送给其他当地慈善机构。
