Each year, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day is observed as a federal holiday on the third Monday of January — Jan. 16. The theme for this year is “Cultivating a Beloved Community Mindset to Transform Unjust Systems,” according to The King Center — a nonprofit founded by MLK’s wife, Coretta Scott King, to continue Dr. King’s legacy.
If you have time to dedicate to our community, here are three local volunteer opportunities:
- United Way of Greenville County | Find meaningful volunteer opportunities that change lives and move Greenville County forward.
- Loaves & Fishes | Reduce hunger in Greenville County by volunteering on the rescue route, event committee, or by providing administrative and office support.
- Mill Village Ministries | Help out this Greenville institution’s collective with food share, farming, and youth programming.
