Every year the Homestead and Florida City communities come together to honor the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. with a free community breakfast. This year, the event will look a little different. Instead of the traditional formal breakfast, a hot breakfast distribution will take place at 7AM on Friday, January 15th at Roby George Park (201 SW 11th Avenue, Homestead, FL 33030), and a livestream event will begin at 8AM the same day via Facebook Live at www.facebook.com/cityofhomestead. Residents should note that there will be no activities at the Phichol Williams Community Center.
