“Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, ‘What are you doing for others?'”

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

MLK Day commemorates the birthday of Dr. King, whose work advanced equality and justice for all Americans. Although schools and business may be closed for the holiday, MLK Day has become more than just a day off. It’s an opportunity to honor King’s legacy and his contributions to the civil rights movement by participating in a day of service.

As the tradition of volunteering on MLK Day has grown, so has the number of service activities for families.
