Mayor Thad Kobylarz spoke at today's Martin Luther King Jr. Day Service.
 
 
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. believed that food insecurity was one of the biggest challenges facing communities everywhere. This year, as we remember the life and legacy of Dr. King in observance of MLK Day 2022, we invite you to join your neighbors in Chatham Borough to touch the lives of those of us in need.
