Did you know MLK Jr. Day is the only federal holiday designated as a National Day of Service? For more than a quarter of a century, it has served as encouragement for all Americans to volunteer to improve their communities.

Take advantage of the 28th anniversary of the National Day of Service this year. Use it to pay respect to a great leader and put boots on the ground to work side-by-side with friends and strangers alike in a unified effort to build a stronger community for us all.
