"Great job, Latter-day Saints! Great job!"

From Todd Bernstein, founder and director of the Greater Philadelphia King Day of Service:

"The regional focal point for the King Day of Service's 900 projects and 65,000 volunteers was at our Temple University signature site, where we had some 3,000 volunteers alone and 150 projects. Communities of faith played a pivotal role, and the largest of those groups to participate was The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. One hundred leaders and more than 450 LDS youth, ages 12-18, embraced Dr. King's legacy by turning community concerns into citizen action, assembling and packing kits for those in need. Their commitment to help others was demonstrated on King Day and continues throughout the year."

From Kim Mitchell, Business Manager, Cradles to Crayons:

"You guys are awesome! IT WAS GREAT! As I visited the LDS MLK project site I was touched to see so many youth, filled with excitement and the will to help needy children. The atmosphere was filled with so much joy. It was unbelievable! Truly, all the LDS congregations came together as one big family and wrapped their "Mormon Helping Hands" (as your hats displayed) around the needs of Cradles to Crayons and the needy children which we serve. For that, we are grateful. Thank you once again for selecting Cradles to Crayons as the beneficiary of 1,000 Arts & Crafts kits. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU! The experience with the LDS group is one of the most touching that I have had during my time with Cradles to Crayons. Great job, Latter-day Saints! Great job!"
