Last year the Carlson Leadership & Public Service Center and United Way of King County coordinated over 1,300 University of Washington students, staff, faculty, alumni, friends, and family to honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s memory through serving our community.
Service projects included cleaning, painting, and beautifying transitional housing facilities, clearing invasive plant growth in Seattle's natural habitats, clearing trash from neighborhood parks, sorting donated food and clothing, or doing outreach for Earned Income Tax Credit programs just to name a few.
