MLK Day of Service

Each year, on the third Monday in January as “a day on, not a day off,” MLK Day is the only federal holiday designated as a National Day of Service to encourage all Americans to volunteer to improve their communities. We invite you to join us in one of our many MLK Day Volunteer Events and using the holiday as a time to learn, listen, and reflect on the racial injustice that still exists in our country.

The 2025 MLK Day Volunteer Events are here!
