Berkshire Community College honors one of America's greatest heroes by giving back to the community at its annual Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service event, taking place in the Connector building at BCC's main campus on Monday, Jan. 20 and co-sponsored by the NAACP-Berkshire County Branch.
The day begins with a light breakfast and check-in at 8:30 a.m. and a kick-off ceremony from 9-9:45 a.m. with a welcome by BCC President Ellen Kennedy and a keynote by Dr. Eden-Reneé Hayes, dean of equity and inclusion and associate professor of psychology at Simon's Rock.
Volunteers are expected at 10 a.m. at their volunteer sites and will serve until 12 p.m. The day concludes at the First United Methodist Church on Fenn St. in Pittsfield for the Harvest Table, a community lunch shared by all volunteers and fellow community members.
