MLK JR. WEEK OF SERVICE

Each year, United Way Suncoast celebrates Dr. King’s life and legacy through the MLK Jr. Week of Service in January. This year will mark the 29th anniversary of this national volunteer event where communities are encouraged to make his holiday “a day on, not a day off.”

As Dr. King proclaimed in his Nobel Peace Prize speech, "I have the audacity to believe that people everywhere can have three meals a day for their bodies, education and culture for their minds, and dignity, equality and freedom for their spirits." United Way Suncoast's MLK Jr. Week of Service volunteer projects follow Dr. King's wisdom, focusing on food insecurity and education needs in our community, providing all the freedom to rise, because United We Rise, United We Win.
