MLK Day Of Service

Monday, January 16th, the Foundation for Foster Children is hosting a day of service in honor of Martin Luther King Jr! In tribute, people all across the country are volunteering to serve their local communities. Even though many people are off work for the holiday, they are choosing to make MLK Day of Service a day ON, instead of a day off.

Simple ways you can help this MLK Day of Service

We have registered at www.allforgood.org as a host location for MLK Day of Service. You may come to our office anytime on MLK Day of Service between 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. for as long as you like, to help out with various projects. We’ll be creating handmade birthday cards and congratulatory cards (for educational achievements). We are also preparing emergency supplies for children entering care, and completing other organizational tasks. Feel free to bring a friend or family member to volunteer with you if you choose! It’s an exciting day to join people across the nation in helping others, in the spirit of Dr. King!

As Dr. King said, “Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, ‘What are you doing for others?'” Among other famous quotes of Dr. King’s, “Everyone has the power for greatness….because greatness is determined by service.” and “Everybody can be great because anybody can serve.” Be great this MLK Day!
