Jersey Cares Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service

About Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service

Volunteers will honor Dr. King’s legacy while displaying their own leadership skills as they brighten dull walls with fresh paint, serve hot meals, spend time with seniors and organize donations. Volunteers throughout New Jersey will work to embody Dr. King’s vision and bring people of all ages and backgrounds together strengthening their communities.

Both teams and individuals are welcome to participate and volunteers ages 7+ are welcome at some sites. Advance registration is required to participate.
