In the spirit of Martin Luther King Jr.'s "beloved community," United Way of Kaw Valley is proud to offer an affordable and timely professional development opportunity designed with social service professionals and volunteers in mind. This event is made possible by an MLK Day of Service mini-grant from the Kansas Volunteer Commission. The Day of Service empowers 
individuals, strengthens communities, bridges barriers, and creates solutions to social problems.

Room Enough To Care:
A Trauma-Informed Approach to Providing Social Services

At our 2025 MLK Day of Service seminar, keynote speaker Nicole Rials will discuss ways we can embrace the passion of servitude and helping, while not forsaking our own needs. We will also share lunch and a Harvesters service project as part of our day of connection and development.
