AmeriCorps members in Aberdeen to unite in service on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day
AmeriCorps members will volunteer, lead activities at Stewart’s Memorial Park Jan 20
ABERDEEN— The Moore Wright Group of Aberdeen is inviting AmeriCorps members and community volunteers for a day of beautifying Stewart’s Memorial Park, 2332 N B. St. The event takes place at 10 a.m. Jan. 20. Volunteers should dress warmly and wear work gloves.
Their service project is one of thousands simultaneously occurring across the country to honor the late civil rights leader.
Observed each year on the third Monday in January, Martin Luther King, Jr., Day is the only federal holiday designated as a National Day of Service to encourage all Americans to volunteer to honor the life and legacy of Dr. King and improve their communities. AmeriCorps has been charged with leading this effort for more than a quarter century. While much work remains to fulfill Dr. King’s dream of creating the Beloved Community, AmeriCorps remains committed to showing that joining together in service can unify Americans of different backgrounds and experiences to transform unjust systems through a fierce urgency of now.
How to volunteer: Anyone interested in volunteering should contact Peter Van Volkinburg, pete@tmwg.org.
