CB Cares’ Days of Service Program offers three distinct
days of service during the course of the year which prompt community
members to develop and support various volunteer service projects. We
kick off the year with CB Cares’ annual Martin Luther King Day of
Service- a moving opening ceremony engages area choirs, youth performers
and various community members as we honor the compassionate spirit of
Martin Luther King.
Martin Luther King Day of Service remains our largest
community-wide volunteer service project event. CB Cares Spring
and Fall Days of Service are widely supported by the central
bucks community and continue to gain new opportunities and volunteers
each year.
