Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. once said, “Life’s most urgent and persistent question is: what are you doing for others?”
This coming January 18, Americans across the country will answer that question by joining with their neighbors to serve their communities as part of the Martin Luther King Jr. King Day of Service. During his life, Dr. King challenged us to build a more perfect union and taught us that everyone has a role to play in making America what it ought to be. Forty years later, we still have work to do to realize Dr. King’s dream of equality and opportunity for all. The needs are great, many Americans are hurting, and government can’t do it alone. We need citizens to help renew our nation though service – on the King Holiday, and throughout the year.
As part of his United We Serve initiative, President Obama is calling on Americans to make the King Holiday ‘a day on, not a day off,’ and to make an ongoing commitment to service. Through service, we can help realize King’s dream and build America’s new foundation. Service on the King Holiday is not just an appropriate way to honor Dr. King, it is an important opportunity to bring in new volunteers and partners to support your organization’s work throughout the year.
