Dr. Martin Luther King devoted his life’s work to causes of equali-ty and social justice. He taught that through nonviolence and service to one another, problems such as hun-ger and homelessness, prejudice and discrimination can be overcome. The Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Ser-vice is a way to transform Dr. King’s life and teachings into communi-ty service that helps empower and strengthen local communities.

People of all ages and backgrounds come together to improve lives, bridge social barriers, and to move our nation closer to the “Beloved Community” that Dr. King envisioned. Dr. King’s teachings can continue to guide us in addressing our nation’s most pressing needs - poverty, economic insecurity, job loss and education. Volunteer with your friends and neighbors on the 2010 King Day of Service and make a real in difference in your community.
