Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service

"Life's most persistent and urgent question is: What are you doing for others?"
-Reverend Martin Luther King Jr.

Mark your calendar to serve on Monday, January 19th, 2009!

Dr. King sought to forge the common ground on which people from all walks of life could join together to address important community issues. Working alongside individuals of all ages, races and backgrounds, Dr. King encouraged Americans to come together to strengthen communities, alleviate poverty, and acknowledge dignity and respect for all human beings. On January 19th, 2009, Americans across the country will again honor King’s legacy of tolerance, peace, and equality by meeting community needs and making the holiday a day ON, not a day OFF.
