This year, Frontier Nursing University (FNU) encourages community members to participate in the MLK Day of Service Challenge! MLK Day, honoring Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., is an official day of service and celebrates the civil rights leader’s life and legacy. FNU community members were encouraged to participate in community service with friends and family, then share their service hours and pictures with the Office of DEI.
Here are some of the ways community members gave back to their communities:
Dr. Paula Alexander-Delpech, Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer, spent the day sorting food for Feeding South Florida. The group she was assigned to sorted 12,000 lbs of food, equating to approximately 95 meals for families. She also wants to share this quote from Dr. King used by Feeding South Florida: “Everyone has the power for Greatness, not for fame but greatness, because greatness is determined by service.”
