MLK Jr. Day of Service set for January 20
Main Image

Join the East and West Ohio Conferences of the United Methodist Church as we honor the legacy of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. with a day of service across all 10 districts. This is an opportunity for individuals, families, and communities to unite and embody the spirit of love, justice, and service Dr. King championed.

Whether through volunteering at a local food pantry, assisting with community clean-up efforts, mentoring youth, or supporting other impactful projects, everyone can make a difference. Let's turn this National Day of Remembrance into a day of action! Visit Day of Service for service opportunity suggestions in your area, or gather your family and friends to create your own opportunity to serve. We can continue Dr. King's dream of building a beloved community together.
