Washington, DC—With the annual Martin Luther King Day of Service just days away, communities across the country are planning a record number of projects and activities to honor the slain civil rights leader on Monday, January 19. Projects open for volunteer sign up at http://www.mlkday.gov.
"Participating in community service projects on King Day creates a living memorial to this national hero, and we hope that millions of Americans will get involved in the King Day of Service," said David Eisner, CEO of the Corporation for National and Community Service, the federal agency charged by Congress with overseeing the annual service effort. "Throughout his lifetime, Dr. King was dedicated to making our country a better place for all citizens. There is no better way to honor him than by continuing his life’s work."
