Β CHARLOTTE, NC — Students from Central Piedmont Community College honored the life and legacy of Dr. King through service to others on Monday.

Students participated in a variety of volunteer projects as part of the 11th Annual MLK Challenge. Β One group helped frame a Habitat for Humanity home under construction in west Charlotte.

“They showed us the video about having, making it a day on, not a day off. Β That kinda motivated me to come out here, help out, help the community. Β It’s beneficial to everyone,” said CPCC student Eshaan Zaveri.

Students worked with more than ten local non-profit agencies, including the Carolina Raptor Center, Alexander Youth Network and Samaritan House.
