MLK Week of Service begins today

Over the holiday season, did you urge yourself to volunteer more? Was it one of your New Years resolutions to get involved in your community?

Hands On Charlotte’s MLK Week of Service is an opportunity for you to jumpstart your community service in the New Year. Over the next week, Hands On Charlotte will sponsor some 50 projects across the city – all part of an effort to honor the life and ideas of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

We hope you’ll join us during the MLK Week of Service. Here are a few projects you could help us out with this weekend:

• Saturday – McGill Rose Garden: Come spruce up the grounds at McGill Rose Garden, located just outside Uptown.
• Saturday – Habitat ReStore: Help Habitat for Humanity sort through donated materials and recycle what they can’t use.
• Sunday – Actor’s Theatre of Charlotte: Join Hands On Charlotte for a MLK Community Cinema event at Actor’s Theatre of Charlotte. Admission is free.

We urge you to join us during our MLK Week of Service. Dr. King called people of all walks of life to participate in bettering their communities. The MLK Week of Service is an opportunity for you and your family to start serving your community in 2011.
