Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service 2014 is on Monday, January 20. The annual day of service commemorates the civic contributions of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. This year will be the 14th annual Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service coordinated by Hands On Birmingham (HOB). Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service is supported by many corporate sponsors and community organizations. HOB sponsors take a lead role by adopting projects, which provides HOB and its volunteers with the resources needed to complete our many community service projects. HOB is partnering with Honda Manufacturing of Alabama, BBVA Compass, ACIPCO, Alabama’s 13, University of Alabama at Birmingham, The City of Birmingham, City Councilor Jay Roberson, City Councilor Marcus Lundy, EarthFare, Whole Foods, Piggly Wiggly, Mountain High Outfitters and West Princeton Dental Clinic.
Hands On Birmingham coordinates one of the largest Martin Luther King Jr. days of service in the Hands On Network. Over 45 community service projects will take place throughout our five county service region. Projects will take place at parks, waterways, community gardens, camps, recreation centers, schools, libraries and partner agency sites. We anticipate over 1800 people registering to volunteer. School groups, corporations, sororities, fraternities, clubs and individuals are encouraged to volunteer. Volunteers can register at http://www.handsonbirmingham.org/MLK . Through service we can improve the communities in which we live, work and play.
