Last Weekend To Register Before #MLKDay

#MLKDay is an effort made possible by many. We’ve had an amazing response from the community since opening registration for the 2015 Martin Luther Jr. National Day of Service. Thank you to every volunteer and supporter who has already pledged to support the legacy of Rev. Dr. King!

This year there are a number of projects that volunteers can do from home, as well as throughout Westchester, Rockland, and Putnam. Many projects are family-friendly and embody the message of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., like the Share the Dream Collage project that focuses on educating youth through a fun and collaborative hands-on activity.

Or the Share the Dream Cake project that can be done from home, and encourages anyone to bake a cake with a ‘confectionary’ message of hope written on it and donate it to a local community organization, like a homeless shelter or police department.

Find a project that speaks to a cause you care about like: Arts & Culture, Hunger, Homelessness, Seniors, Family Services, or the Environment -- and join us in making #MLKDay a true national day of service!

Support the Audubon society and see the birds of winter, or help students tackle the dreaded FAFSA form!

About MLKDay:

The Martin Luther King Jr. National Day of Service brings together hundreds of volunteers in Westchester, Rockland, and Putnam for service projects that strengthen communities, empower individuals, bridge barriers, and create solutions.
