2024 AmeriCorps MLK Day of Service

DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR. DAY: NATIONAL DAY OF SERVICE

The Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday is an official day of service and celebrates the civil rights leader’s life and legacy. On this federal holiday, NESS staff and AmeriCorps members joined thousands of volunteers nationwide by serving in our community. 

AmeriCorps has been charged with leading this effort for the past quarter century.

To celebrate the National Day of Service this year, our team volunteered throughout the day at:

Waterford Community Food Bank
The Waterford Community Food Bank serves as a hub for our community. They proudly provide emergency food assistance to Waterford residents in need.

Operation Mail Call

Operation Mail Call sends thousands of cards each year in care packages made by people living across the USA! From ages 2 to 102, thankful Americans are making cards and writing notes of encouragement for our troops. 

Cardz for Kidz
Cardz For Kidz is a nonprofit that spreads joy by delivering handmade cards to children, seniors, veterans, and others worldwide.
