MLK Day of Service

Through the Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service, the HRC hopes to "create a beloved community, and this will require a qualitative change in our souls as well as a quantitative change in our lives.” ~ MLK JR
Event Date: 
Monday, January 15, 2024 - 10:00am to 12:00pm

In 1994, Congress passed the King Holiday and Service Act, designating MLK Day as a national day of service – a day ON, not a day off. The Melrose Human Rights Commission (MHRC) is excited to support opportunities for the Melrose community to volunteer during the annual Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service on Monday, January 15, 2024.

Melrose's city-wide MLK Day of Service, community members from across Melrose can sign up for service activities between the hours of 10 AM through 12 NOON. 

The MLK Day of Service is meant to empower individuals, strengthen communities, and move us closer to Dr. King’s vision of a “Beloved Community,” wherein poverty, hunger, and homelessness will not be tolerated because international standards of human decency will not allow it.

More information will soon be made available to th. In the meantime, please contact the Melrose Human Rights Commission by email melrosehrc@cityofmelrose.org
