THE KING DAY OF SERVICE

The King Day of Service is a way to transform Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s life and teachings into community service that helps address social problems. On this day, Americans of every age and background celebrate Dr. King through service projects that strengthen communities, empower individuals and break down barriers.

On Monday, January 19, 2009, to commemorate the Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service and to honor his memory, you are invited to join Mayor Adrian M. Fenty and Serve DC, the Mayor’s Office on Volunteerism, in partnership with Operation Gratitude and Target, and thousands of volunteers from across the country in assembling care packages for our Military. Sign up here.

"A Day of Service for Our Military" will provide the opportunity for you to show your support to those who serve our country.
