In honor of Martin Luther King Jr. and his legacy, many local counties are participating in a week of service to help better the community.
MLK Week of Service is a week of volunteer projects, events and community dialogues addressing economic mobility and needs in underserving communities while uplifting Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy and unity.
Volunteers and participants are being recruited for 30+ service projects taking place between Jan. 12 to 20 throughout Duval, Clay and Nassau counties. United Way of Northeast Florida, the City of Jacksonville and Americorps, with the help of local nonprofits, are working to mobilize 1,000 over the week.
