Host a Community Table
Share resources, opportunities, and next steps with the community.
Community organizations, nonprofits, schools, faith communities, and service-based partners are invited to host a table at the 2027 MLK Community Celebration.
Community tables are an opportunity to share resources, programs, services, volunteer opportunities, and meaningful next steps for people who want to continue the work beyond the celebration.
This event is rooted in Dr. King’s vision of the Beloved Community — a community where justice, dignity, service, and shared responsibility are lived in action.

Time: 7:00 PM
Location: Viterbo University Fine Arts Center
