Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. once said, "Life's most persistent and urgent question is: 'What are you doing for others?'"Each year, Americans across the country answer that question by coming together on the King Holiday to serve their neighbors and communities. “Everybody can be great, because everybody can serve.”–Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. A Day On, Not a Day Off!
