Volunteer: MLK Day at Pine Lake ParkMonday, January 19th is Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service - a National Day of Service that takes place on the third Monday of January each year. The day honors the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and encourages Americans to volunteer to improve their communities.

His words continue to inspire movements seeking equal access to clean water, safe parks, and more for many different communities.
