A service project the entire family can take part in! In honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., the Norwalk Historical Society and the Love All Project will be hosting, “Kids Care: MLK Jr. Service Day Project”.

This free family-friendly Service Day Project supports the non-profit organization, Connecticut Institute for Refugees and Immigrants.

Come to the museum to create welcome bags for immigrants and refugees settling into Connecticut. Participating families are encouraged to bring individually packaged non-perishable snacks to include in the welcome bags. Along with filling the bags with goodies, children will be able to create cards and decorate the bags! In addition to the service project, children will get the opportunity to create peace doves, heart origami and learn more about Dr. King’s mission for peace, freedom and justice for all. Visit norwalkhistoricalsociety.org to register your family and to find a list of recommended snacks for the bags. All children must be accompanied by an adult. If the event is canceled due to inclement weather, it will be rescheduled for Sunday, February 3, 2019 from 1pm - 4pm. The Norwalk Historical Society Museum is located at 141 East Avenue. The front entrance is accessible from the Norwalk City Hall parking area at 125 East Avenue. The Museum is in the red brick house with blue double front doors, next to the Norwalk Health Department.
