  • Hobbs – MLK Day of Giving 2021

    The NAACP, City of Hobbs, United Way of Lea County, Hobbs Municipal Schools, Hobbs Headstart, Hobbs Hispano Chamber of Commerce, Hobbs Chamber of Commerce, WHI Hobbs, Cissy’s Food Ministry, Lea County Beef Project, The Salvation Army, Pacific Rim and Domino’s Pizza have all teamed up to honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr by a Day of Giving. 

    Monday, January 18, 2021 these organizations will come together to give back to the community from 12-2pm at MLK Soccerplex located at 1320 S. Dal Paso. To help celebrate the dream of unity by MLK, we invite everyone to come experience the unity of Hobbs as we hand out food; hot meals and/or food boxes, as well as collecting coats for re-distribution and handing out what we currently have collected. 

    “Everybody can be great … because anybody can serve. You don’t have to have a college degree to serve. You don’t have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love.” Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
