I love the holidays. A time for eating a lot and hanging out with family and friends and appreciating the people who mean the most in your life with the act of giving and receiving gifts. It’s the season of giving so why not give back to meaningful causes at the same time?
This year, in partnership with Target and the Corporation for National and Community Service, we will create new and meaningful ways to harness the passion of our nation’s citizens in honoring the memory and promoting the vision of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. on January 21st.
With the election over and in the aftermath of another significant weather event, we believe we have a unique opportunity to unite Americans in volunteer service and to issue a call to action to do what we, as Americans, do best – lend a hand, help our neighbors, and build better communities.
