National Park College (NPC) Phi Theta Kappa (PTK) students participated in volunteer activities at the Eleanor Klugh Jackson House Monday for the Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday. Students in PTK honored King by committing their time to preparing and serving lunch to Jackson House visitors.
The Jackson House serves the community with assistance in food, clothing, shelter
and medicine. Participants were honored to be a small part of the mission of the Jackson
House. “I was blessed to serve our community today alongside some wonderful friends.
Every cup of soup, every sandwich made was a soul fed,” stated Sarah Duran-Villasenor.
PTK President, Melissa Krafft said, “I was most impacted by the gratitude of the Jackson
House visitors. They were very appreciative of our help and expressed their thankfulness
all through the day. King’s legacy was one of kindness and service to others. I am
appreciative to have had the opportunity to embody King’s servitude toward society
here in my community.”
