CELEBRATE THE LIFE AND LEGACY OF MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR. ON JANUARY 18, 2021

Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, held this year on January 18, is the only federal holiday designated as a national day of service to encourage all Americans to volunteer to improve their communities.

Although the COVID-19 pandemic has made serving our community challenging, there are still safe ways to engage in volunteer service in honor of Dr. King's legacy. Make a commitment to serve in your community on MLK Day and throughout 2021.
 

Here are some simple, concrete steps you can take.
