MLK Day of Service

Martin Luther King, Jr. once dreamed of a “Beloved Community”—a place where everyone is respected and free from poverty, hunger, and hate. This year marks the 30th anniversary of the MLK Day of Service, and it’s a great time to reflect on Dr. King’s vision and act in making it a reality.

OLYMPIA—Gov. Jay Inslee has proclaimed Monday, Jan. 16 as the Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service in the state of Washington.

MLK Day is the only federal holiday designated as a National Day of Service that encourages people across America to volunteer to improve their communities.
