Tomorrow, January 15th, 2011 would have been Dr. Martin Luther King Jr’s 86th Birthday. To remember the huge impact he has had on our country, many people are given the Monday near his birthday off from school and work. Why not use this year to have a DAY ON! Use your day off from work or school to have a DAY ON helping your community, just as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. did.
Heroesofcharacter.org is collecting your Martin Luther King Day of Service stories! Share with us what you did on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. day by sending a blog post to info@heroesofcharacter.org. Weren’t able to do something this year? Send us ideas for future service projects and events.
Many organizations host large scale service days doing everything from painting recreation centers to working in soup kitchens. No project is too small and everyone is capable of doing something!
