2022 MLK Service Challenge: Engaging with Community
During the week of January 17, 2022, Albert Einstein College of Medicine joined organizations nationwide by honoring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. through community service work. Over 40 students, faculty, and staff engaged in community service at organizations including Project BRAVO Food Pantry, The Bronx Community Foundation, Niño de la Caridad Foundation, Einstein Food Justice and Medicine, and HERO High School.
Each year, we recognize individuals and the department or group who demonstrate Dr. King’s spirit and legacy through their dedication and contributions to our community. We join in community to share thanks to all who participated..
