Martin Luther King, Jr. Virtual Day of Service 2022
“Life’s Most Persistent and Urgent Question is: What are YOU Doing for Others?” - Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Taking place each year on the third Monday in January, the MLK Day of Service is the only federal holiday observed as a national day of service – a "day on, not a day off." This year, MLK Day will take place on Monday, January 17th. While we can’t come together in the hundreds in person this year, you can still join HandsOn Miami & HandsOn Broward in our Virtual MLK Day of Service so we can honor Dr. King’s life and legacy by completing service projects that will benefit local nonprofit agencies.
Each virtual volunteer opportunity will be focused on one impact area. All opportunities will be held via Zoom. Volunteers will be sent supply list & detailed instructions beginning January 7th. Volunteers are responsible for purchasing supplies. Zoom links will be sent the day before the project.
