[CANCELED] MLK Jr Day Activities at Chelsea Depot

January 17, 2022 @ 10:00 am - 3:00 pm EST

[CANCELED] On January 17, the MLK Jr. Day holiday, families and youth are invited to gather from 10am to 3pm at the Chelsea Depot to work on projects to reach out in a personal way to offer welcome to refugee families. Projects include friendship bracelets, hand drawn cards, and even tie-dye socks. (Youth may bring a pair of their own to do too.)

Donated art and school supplies kits will be assembled and all the items delivered to families through Jewish Family Services and Washtenaw Refugee Welcome. It will be a fun time that will make a difference for new families to the area. Student and adult volunteers will staff the craft tables.

To volunteer, please contact owofchelsea@gmail.com. Masks will be required and social distancing in place.

Co-sponsored by Chelsea Depot Association

TIME TO CONNECT AND REFLECT!! Saturday, Nov 30. 9-11am. Room 115 WSEC Let's get together over coffee and bagels before the holiday season starts in earnest. We need to pick up the pieces from the election and see where we are - individually and as a caring social justice organization. Let's start the conversation and help each other. Eventually, we'll want to get to some sort of action so we'll see what develops. Coffee, tea and bagels provided!

EQUALITY CHELSEA is observing Transgender Day of Remembrance on Wednesday, November 20th at 6:00 pm on the north lawn at St. Paul United Church of Christ (14600 Old 12).
