The City of Lima announcing a new initiative to help others this Martin Luther King Day.
The Department of Community Development is spearheading a “Day of Service” to supply three local non-profits assistance in the memory of Doctor Martin Luther King Junior. There will be three bins at these locations; Lima Senior High School, Lima Central Fire Station, and Northland Chief's Supermarket that will be collecting items for the West Ohio Food Bank, Samaritan House, and Our Daily Bread soup kitchen. The community is encouraged to donate.
Sydni Winkler, Neighborhood Specialist for the City of Lima explains, “Each one of those locations is going to specifically have a bin that will list their needs. People can go and donate things specifically to them. So, bins will be out for the next week and once January 18th hits, we’re going to collect those bins and donate them to them.”
Winkler says they hope to continue this service project for years to come.
