The Committee for Social Change

The Committee for Social Change The Committee for Social Change is a non-profit organization located in Glennville, Ga was organized The Committee for Social Change, Inc. Ruben King, Sr.

is a non-profit organization located in Glennville, Georgia was organized in 1990. The idea for the celebration in observance of the holiday of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was birthed from the vision of Mr. and his wife Mrs. Novella King. While visiting in another city during the pouring rain they observed a parade honoring Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. After they watched the parade, they considered

how nice the parade was for that city. They discussed the idea of hosting a parade in their hometown of Glennville, Ga. to honor the life and legacy of Dr. King. Twenty-five years ago, there were many celebrations of Dr. King’s birthday, except in the City of Glennville. To enhance the cultural activities of this community and to give the youth something to believe in, the Lord touched the heart of Mr. and Mrs. Ruben King Sr. to begin a celebration and they said, “We can do this.”

After many discussions, the committee was formed and named the M.L.K. Committee later changing the name to the Committee for Social Change which was inspired by the late Richard King to fit the need of this community. The goal of the committee is to assist high school graduates and coordinate activities that would encourage the youth of this community. Over the past 25 years the Committee for Social Change, Inc. grew from a group of concerned citizens to an organization that helps the community in numerous ways. The committee continues to grow and is successful as an active part of the community and gives back to the community by: awarding 82 scholarships to deserving high school graduates, sponsoring back to school festivals, drug awareness program, donated books to the Head Start program and the Glennville Public Library, pageants and food boxes. A variety of fundraisers are held throughout the year to provide for scholarship funds. These fundraisers include donations from individuals, voluntary membership dues, the scholarship banquet, donations from businesses, dinner sales, and basketball tournaments.
