A DAY ON, NOT A DAY OFF!

“Life’s most persistent and urgent question is: “What are you doing for others?””

-Dr. Martin Luther King Jr

MLK Day of Service is a call of service of all walks of life to work together to provide solutions to some of our nations persistent problems. Every year on this day Americans across the country unite to serve their neighbors and communities. In addition uniting, let us work to acknowledge those keeping us safe with in our community, lend a helping hand to our neighbor and build a sense of solidarity among all members of Door County.
