Martin Luther King, Jr. Day is a day ON, not OFF!
This is a group for volunteers who are Living United by contributing their time, talent, voice or money on Martin Luther King, Jr., Day 2009. We believe in Dr. King's teachings and that great things can happen when we work together toward a common goal.
On the 2009 King Day of Service, and throughout the week of January 17th – 23rd, over 800 volunteers took part in volunteer-related service activities.
Volunteer time translated into community impact dollars = $62, 432 (as determined by the Bureau of Labor Statistics).
Students from 5 regional colleges and universities participated. These schools include U of M-Dearborn, Lawrence Tech, Henry Ford Community College, Madonna University, Lawrence Tech and Oakland Community College.
24 community agencies opened up their doors to volunteers on this national day of service.
4 new partners this year: Chrysler LLC, Panera Bread, and City Year Detroit.
