Community Event Highlight: Faith250 Community Reading & Discussion 🇺🇸📖

The Greater Scranton MLK Commission is proud to support and highlight meaningful dialogues in our community. On Tuesday, October 20 at 7:00 PM, the community is invited to gather at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (505 Griffin Pond Road, South Abington) for a special event hosted by Faith250.

This evening features a community reading and reflection on Frederick Douglass’s historic and profound speech, "What, to the American slave, is your 4th of July?" It is a powerful opportunity to reflect together on the impacts of historical injustice, examine our current society, and build shared hopes for the future.

We extend our sincere gratitude to Dr. Yerodin Lucas, a member of the Board of Directors and the Program Committee Chair for the Greater Scranton MLK Commission (and Assistant Professor of Social Work at Marywood University) and Reverend Mark Alexander, Vice President of the Board of Directors for the Greater Scranton MLK Commission (and from Bethel AME) for highlighting this valuable community opportunity and guiding our commission's support.

✨ All faiths, all backgrounds—all are welcome.

🎟️ The event is free, but registration is required.

Help Us Build Our First Website and Expand Our Impact

We are raising funds to launch and maintain the very first website for our nonprofit organization — a critical step in growing our mission and serving more people in need.

Right now, our work is powered by passion, volunteers, and community support. A dedicated website will provide access for people to learn about our programs, access resources, volunteer, or donate. Our professional website will serve as our digital home — a place where our community can connect, stay informed, and support our cause"

Your contribution will help cover the essential costs of website design, development, hosting, accessibility features, and security. This investment will allow us to:

-Share our mission and impact more effectively

-Reach new supporters and partners

-Provide up-to-date information about programs and events

-Increase transparency and credibility

This is more than just a website — it’s a foundation for sustainable growth and long-term impact.

With your support, we can build a strong online presence that amplifies our mission and helps us serve even more people. Thank you for helping us take this important first step.
