MLK Day Challange

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. lived his life serving others. Following his example, millions of Americans serve on Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service. At our children's schools, at a local shelter, or lending a hand to help our neighbors - we join Dr. King as drum majors for justice, peace, and righteousness. It under these ideal, that we challenge each and every individual to volunteer and give back to their local community in some way on MLK Day, or in the days surrounding, in remembrance of the work of Martin Luther King Jr.
