MLK Day is January 18 - Celebrate and honor the spirit of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
January 18 - National Day of Service
Monday, January 18, is the National Day of Service -- a day to celebrate and honor the spirit of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. ahead of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris’s inauguration.
The National Day of Service is a chance for all Americans to unite and serve at a time when the global pandemic calls on all of us to support our communities. We hope you’ll lend a helping hand alongside Joe Biden and Kamala Harris on this day of service and demonstrate your commitment to building our country back better.
