The Martin Luther King Jr. holiday on January 18 is the 26th anniversary of the day of service that celebrates the Civil Rights leader’s life and legacy. Observed each year on the third Monday in January as “a day on, not a day off,” MLK Jr. Day is the only federal holiday designated as a national day of service to encourage all Americans to volunteer to improve their communities. This year we will participate with a food drive to benefit our local food pantry at Christian Community Service Center. We will also collect toilet paper for SEARCH Homeless Services and pet food for Meals on Wheels AniMeals program through Interfaith Ministries of Greater Houston.
