MLK Day of Service
Inspired by Dr. King’s vision, take meaningful action through volunteer activities that support and uplift our community.
On Monday, Jan. 19, 2026, we invite you to join us in honoring the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. through a meaningful Day of Service.
Dr. King envisioned a “Beloved Community” rooted in justice, equality, and compassion. This day offers a special opportunity to bring that vision to life by engaging in volunteer activities that strengthen and uplift our community.
We welcome individuals and families of all ages to participate; your time and contributions will make a difference. Activities will be thoughtfully designed to be inclusive, engaging, and impactful for all.
