January 22 is the the day we honor the life and work of Dr. King. But it is also designated a National Day of Service as a way of celebrating the work that he did for this country. Martin Luther King Jr. Day is the only federal holiday designated as a National Day of Service. Even during this pandemic there are ways you can safely provide service to others. Many organizations are listing opportunities to help on their sites and/or Facebook pages. You might start by looking at The People for the American Way Facebook page. It has information about opportunities in your lo community.

With all the ugliness happening in our lives, wouldn't it be uplifting to provide a little beauty in someone else' life as well as your own? Let's make this the dawning of a new day for America!
