JANUARY PROJECT SCHEDULE
Celebrating MLK Day of Service!!
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. once said, "Life's most persistent and urgent question is: 'What are you doing for others?'"
Each year, Americans across the country answer that question by coming together on the King Holiday to serve their neighbors and communities.
The MLK Day of Service is a part of United We Serve, the President's national call to service initiative. It calls for Americans from all walks of life to work together to provide solutions to our most pressing national problems. -http://mlkday.gov/
In support of MLK Day of Service and United We Serve, Wee Volunteer is hosting FIVE service projects on MLK Day - Monday, January 20th. Look below for the projects with date and time in blue! Please volunteer and celebrate with us!!
