MLK Week 2026 - Service Opportunities

The MLK Community Service Committee has coordinated multiple ways to donate or volunteer during MLK Week 2026. 

  1. Lincoln Campus: Voter Registration Drive (Tuesday, January 20th, 4-7 p.m.)
    Fred Brown Center, Atrium, lower-level
     
  2. Crete Campus: Voter Registration Drive (Date and Time TBD)
    Tentative: Perry Campus Center, Information Desk, upper-level
     
  3. Lincoln Campus Donation Drives: Lincoln Hygiene Network
    Virtual Food Drive, in conjunction with the Lincoln Food Bank. For every $1 donated, approximately 2 meals are provided to neighbors facing food insecurity in Southeast Nebraska. 1 in 7 neighbors—and 1 in 5 children—in Southeast Nebraska may not know where their next meal will come from. An estimated 69,750 people are food insecure in the Lincoln Food Bank's 16-county service area in Southeast Nebraska.
