Remembering Martin Luther King Jr.

The Martin Luther King Jr. National Day of Service is a defining moment each year when Americans across the country combine efforts to create more equitable communities. MLK Day is the only federal holiday designated as a National Day of Service to encourage all Americans
to volunteer.

Research has found that volunteering can lead to lower rates of depression and anxiety while helping improve physical health. Your personal well-being should be a top priority for the new year and volunteering might just be one piece of the puzzle.
