*Volunteer Spotlight*

In partnership with Connect Central Oregon, MountainStar invited our community to join an array of volunteer projects for Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service on January 15th. It was a day designed to honor Dr. King's vision of being in service to our Beloved Community. And WOW, did our community show up! On a day off from work and school, amidst a winter storm, 84 brave and generous individuals rolled up their sleeves to give back. Several projects were undertaken including painting a classroom and office; deep-cleaning classrooms, offices, and kitchen; and creative skills were given to repurpose children's artwork into thank you cards.

Volunteers ranged from six years old to seventy-five years young, from neighbors, to OSU Cascades and Heart of Oregon students. Everyone brought smiles, a willingness to get their hands dirty and so much encouragement through their acts of service. We are so grateful for our volunteers, their time, and energy! Each person contributed hope to our Beloved Community here at MountainStar!
