The Morning Bishop Theatre Playhouse’s 14th Annual MLK Community Summit is from 10 a.m.-1 p.m. on Monday, January 18th at the D Performance Comedy Theatre, 500 S. Lake St., Gary.

The summit is an opportunity for the people of Gary and those in surrounding communities to come together to honor the contributions of King by performing community service projects. This year, COVID care packages will be produced during the summit. This year’s theme for the event is a King quote: “The time is always right to do the right thing.”

Activities include making sandwiches for the homeless, creating cards for the sick, creating the MLK Civil Rights poster (for the March on Washington Re-enactment), organizing donations and supplies and making first aid kits. There will also be a hybrid opportunity to participate in the discussion program sponsored by Indiana Humanities.
