2010 Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service
Saturday, January 16, 2010 will be our fourth MLK Day of Service. We will work with the American Red Cross to distribute Fire Prevention materials as well as help restore an Adult Day Care Center. Hands On Jacksonville will also be present to paint a mural on a Head Start Building and do a Clean It Up, Green It Up with park cleanup and tree planting in the neighborhood. 

Please register to help us at www.handsonjacksonville.org. 

Instead of a day off from work or school, Congress asked Americans of all backgrounds and ages to celebrate Dr. King’s legacy by turning community concerns into citizen action. The MLK Day of Service brings together people who might not ordinarily meet, breaks down barriers that have divided us in the past, and leads to better understanding and ongoing relationships. Our goal is to engage individuals in a meaningful volunteer experience that will lead to on-going service throughout the year.
