Thank you for volunteering for the 2023 MLK National Day of Service!
About MLK National Day of Service
Taking place each year on the third Monday in January, the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Day of Service (MLK Day) is the only federal holiday that is also designated by Congress as a National Day of Service – a “day on, not a day off.”
Reflective of the United Way of Forsyth County mission that “brings the community and its resources together to solve problems that no one organization can address alone,” the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. National Day of Service is a testament of what giving back is all about.
About this Volunteer Opportunity/Community Service Event
United Way of Forsyth County is commemorating the MLK National Day of Service by organizing a community service event and volunteer opportunity supporting Carver High School which is located in the UWFC’s Place Matters footprint.
