Monday, 21 January, is being celebrated as Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service, an observance designed to honor the legacy of Dr. King and to provide an opportunity for Americans from all walks of life to work together to serve their neighbors and communities.
As part of this observance, organizations and individuals around New England and across the rest of the nation are participating in a number of initiatives throughout the weekend. These initiatives include delivering meals, refurbishing schools and community centers, collecting food and clothing, signing up mentors, promoting nonviolence, supporting veterans and military families, and much more.
