Celebrating Martin Luther King Jr. Day by Packing Nutritious Meals for Seniors in Garden Grove!
|
Happy Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day! Dr. King brought people together with his unselfish vision of unity and equality. To honor his legacy, I joined the Community Action Partnership of Orange County’s 21st Annual Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service and helped pack nutritious OC Food Bank boxes for Orange County seniors. This outstanding community event was an important reminder of how we can follow Dr. King’s example throughout the entire year.

Movie Screening and Panel Discussion on Stigma, Silence, and Suicide
|
Last Friday, the Multi-Ethnic Collaborative of Community Agencies hosted a screening of the documentary “The S Word.” Data tells us that more than 44,000 people died by suicide in the US in 2017. No one should feel ashamed for being depressed, feeling hopeless, or seeking mental health treatment. I will continue working hard to address mental health here in Orange County because of this. In case you missed the powerful screening and discussion, check out their website for future showings.
