MLK Day 2011: a day for community service
January 14th, 2011 | Published in Google Blog
“Life’s most persistent and urgent question is: What are you doing for others?”
- Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
This MLK Day, many Google employees are participating in service projects from coast to coast. We’re also joining the Corporation for National & Community Service, a Google Grants recipient, to spread the word about volunteering opportunities around the country. On their MLKDay.gov site you can learn about the King Day of Service and find a project in your area. Projects include delivering meals, refurbishing schools and community centers, collecting food and clothing, signing up mentors, reading to children, promoting nonviolence and more. Many of these projects start on King Day and last throughout the year.
Together, let’s make Martin Luther King Jr. Day “a day on, not a day off.”
