MLK Jr. Day of Service Inspiration

Martin Luther King Jr.'s beliefs and morals were the inspiration behind an entire movement of volunteers, humanitarians, and civil rights leaders around the world. As we reflect on this week & the significance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day its important to remember that it was meant to be a Day of Service.  Honoring his legacy by giving back locally or nationally should be important today, and every day. How can I be of service in this ever changing environment during the pandemic? We are so glad you asked! Here are some ideas:

• Donate blood, nationally there is a critical need
• Donate money to charities 
• Create care packages for people who are homebound
• Donate canned goods or non- perishable foods to local food banks
• Drop off unwanted clothing and/or household goods to local donation sites
• Create a platform virtually to educate or support children & adults
• Foster a cat or dog from local shelters, they need attention to!

Take to time to do your research about community work and volunteer opportunities, you would be surprised how many resources there are online! We are all in this together, let's spread a little love and kindness in honor of Dr. King.
