Annual MLK prayer breakfast back in person at ElginCommColl in ElginIL after two years of being held online.
Co-chair Janice Hare is happy the 38th edition of the city's celebration of the civil rights leader will be back next week at Elgin Community College.
Each year, the breakfast is themed after a King quote. Hare said this year's theme,"Life's most persistent and urgent question is, 'What are you doing for others?,'" made her reflect on her upbringing. Four people are up for the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Humanitarian Award, which recognizes individuals from Elgin whose work reflects the teachings and life of King. Nominees are Marcus D. Banner, Shirley Bassett, Mansi Patel and Dan Rouse.
The annual food drive, now in its 10th year, aims to collect 100,000 pounds of food for six area pantries. Canned goods and household items can be dropped off at the Gail Borden Public Library, Elgin police and fire stations, city hall, the Elgin YWCA and most local churches. While food donations are appreciated, cash donations are preferred.
