Martin Luther King Jr. Community Center
Private
Martin Luther King Jr. Family Services in Springfield runs a summer day camp for children ages 5-13 in which campers work in groups on themed projects that build toward a final presentation. Activities include educational field trips, social-emotional wellbeing workshops, and classes ranging from creative arts to digital literacy. The nonprofit also offers free evening programs for teens and a separate free four-week enrichment program for Springfield Empowerment Zone students.

★★★★★Donatello 32Not sure how it is yet but summer hours 2025 was just informed Saturdays 8am-12pm
★★★★★John PapasodoraVery well organized. Lots of volunteers that help pass out donated foods to those in need. Serves the community well with family oriented programs.
★★★Chester MiddlebrooksI'm black and my fiance and I she is Caucasianwent in there to get food cause ours ran low. I felt so uncomfortable I I know she did as well . They were very predjudice like white girl what are you doing in here the people that gave the food out was very judgmental and was rude. They give out great stuff just can't be white I guess it's only for the hood made us feel out of place like they don't like interracial couples .God is love and love is God . Some black people can be racist too . We live in West Springfield there are no pantries we are forced to travel for help this was very disappointing people should not feel uncomfortable just to get help and alot of people who go don't really need it or don't register cause they go every week but there income you can tell has changed.
★★★★★SherriMLK does not have a lot of bells and whistles but they make up for it in community involvement. I attended MLK when I was a young child for several years. Now that I have a child it's nice to be back and see that the atmosphere has not changed.
