Honoring Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. - Commitment to Service MLK 25 Challenge

Today marks the 25th Anniversary of the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. federal holiday. The Corporation for National & Community Service is launching the MLK 25 Challenge, an initiative to encourage all Americans to honor Dr. King's work and legacy by pledging to conduct at least 25 actions during 2011 to make a difference to others and strengthen our communities.

You can find ideas on how you can make a difference in your community on MLKDay.gov or go to Serve.gov to search for volunteer opportunities as well as post your project and share your story of service.

Honor Dr.King by making today a day of service and continuing to serve. No matter how small or large the deed, he is smiling upon us all, realizing we are one step closer to his dream. #MLK25.
